Preparing Perfect Baked Chicken Breast
Ingredients
Chicken Breast: Chicken breasts are considered the white meat of a chicken. They are thick and tender when cooked just right. When overcooked, however, they become dry and tough to eat.
G&K All-Purpose Spice: A combination of spices and herbs, this all-purpose seasoning is made for meals like this. Make a batch in advance and always have it handy to add to your protein.
How to Baked the Perfect Chicken Breast
Baking chicken breast in the oven is the easiest way to cook the breast perfectly. The heat is evenly distributed, for the most part, and there are no external factors that can impede the cooking process. It fool-proof.
Start by preheating the oven to 400°F.
Next, you need to season the chicken. Start by sprinkling each breast with salt, then cover them with the G&K all-purpose spice. Flip the chicken breasts and repeat the seasoning.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lay out the chicken breasts on top.
Now place in the oven for 35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. You can let it rest for a few minutes once it’s cooked.
Serve as a main, on a salad, as a wrap or in a sandwich.
