Bake your chicken breasts using this cold oven cooking method to yield perfectly juicy, tender chicken breasts quickly and easily, no preheating required.
Scale
Ingredients
- 6–8 ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts*
- Olive oil
- Seasonings
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts on a large rimmed baking sheet, and drizzle with oil and toss to evenly coat top and bottom.
- Sprinkle with seasonings of your choice to lightly coat chicken breasts.
- Put the pan in the oven and then turn the oven on to 450 degrees.
- Bake chicken for 25 to 30 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the middle reads somewhere around 160 degrees (temp will continue to rise to 165 after removing from oven).
Notes
If your local market sells monstrously large chicken breasts, you’re not alone. I take the larger ones and butterfly them or simply slice them in half.
