Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings, plus leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
12 (5-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Olive oil cooking spray
Parsley Olive Oil Sauce, recipe follows
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In 2 large zip-top bags, divide half the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper between each bag. Place 6 chicken breasts in each bag. Seal bags and shake to coat. Remove chicken from bag, shaking off excess coating.
  • Transfer chicken to baking sheet and spray with olive oil cooking spray. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve 4 chicken breast halves with Parsley Olive Oil Sauce for this meal and refrigerate remaining chicken until ready to use.
  • In mini-food processor, place parsley leaves. Drizzle in olive oil and process to combine. Add more olive oil until desired sauce consistency is achieved. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon over chicken and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Look for a whole chicken that is plump and has a moist appearance. Avoid chickens that are overly dry or have a lot of bruises or discoloration.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will give your chicken the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use only half the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting chicken, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to dry out.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: Roasting the chicken at a high temperature will help to brown the skin and seal in the juices. This will result in a more flavorful and juicy chicken.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: After roasting the chicken, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked herb chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your chicken turns out perfect every time. Whether you're serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, oven-baked herb chicken is sure to be a hit.
