How to Make Juicy Baked Chicken Breasts in the Oven – Simple & Healthy
Ingredients
- 2 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them completely dry using a paper towel.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in an 8x8-inch baking dish. Use a silicone brush to coat both sides with olive oil, then season evenly with your salt and pepper mixture. Flip the chicken and repeat.
- Bake the chicken uncovered for 18–20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C). For a crispier top, broil for an additional 3–5 minutes at the end.
- Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and cover loosely with cooking foil. Let the chicken rest for 5–10 minutes to lock in the juices before slicing or serving.
