Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (5 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons sazonador total (from Goya)
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Drizzle olive oil over chicken breasts coating all sides. Combine sazonador total, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle on all sides of the chicken breasts. Place chicken breasts onto the baking sheet.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until chicken breast is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Do not overbake. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

JUICY CHICKEN BREASTS BAKED FROM FROZEN



Juicy Chicken Breasts Baked from Frozen image

How many times have you forgotten to thaw those chicken breasts you've got stashed away before it's time to make dinner? Sure, you could double-bag the chicken and soak it in a hot water bath until thawed, but that still takes time and can get messy. Instead, follow this recipe to bake them straight from the freezer. You'll end up with juicy chicken coated in a crisp layer of breadcrumbs. Just make sure you freeze your chicken breasts in a flat layer so they don't stick together -- the recipe won't work with a big clump!

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves and tender stems
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 individually frozen boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 8 ounces each)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Add the mayonnaise, Dijon, parsley and garlic to a small bowl and stir to combine. Add the breadcrumbs, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper to another bowl and stir until combined.
  • Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Dividing evenly, brush the mayonnaise mixture all over the top and sides of each piece. Top the mayo-covered areas with the panko mixture and press to adhere.
  • Bake until the coating is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each breast registers 165 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups crushed herb-seasoned stuffing mix
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons peanut oil

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts and buttermilk into a large resealable plastic bag, knead several times to coat chicken with buttermilk, and squeeze air from the bag. Seal and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Placed crushed herb-seasoned stuffing mix into a shallow bowl. Mix flour, salt, and black pepper in a separate flat dish. Beat egg with water in a bowl. Pour peanut oil into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
