Baked Chicken Breasts | Cookies & Cups
This recipe for baked chicken breasts is perfect for anyone looking to make juicy, flavorful chicken in the oven. The key to this recipe is brining the chicken before seasoning and baking it. Brining helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor, resulting in delicious chicken breasts every time.
To make this recipe, you’ll need warm water, sugar, salt, boneless, skinless chicken breasts, olive oil, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and any additional seasonings you’d like to add. The process involves brining the chicken, seasoning it, and then baking it in the oven at 450°F for 13-17 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160-165°F.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and ensure that the chicken stays moist and tender. You can enjoy the baked chicken breasts on their own, or incorporate them into various dishes like salads, sandwiches, soups, and casseroles.
Leftover chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. When reheating, it’s best to do so in the oven to prevent drying out the meat. This recipe is versatile, easy to follow, and delivers consistently delicious results. Give it a try and see for yourself why you’ll never bake chicken breasts any other way!
