There are two things in my opinion that comes to cooking chicken breasts (or any chicken for that matter) that you don’t want to do. You don’t want to overcook it, and you don’t want to under season it. No one wants dry and bland chicken, and it is easy to over cook it in the oven.
I have noticed that several electronic food thermometers have presets for different meats, and some them are way past the safe temperature for chicken. The internal temperature for chicken breasts should be 165°. So here is an article from the Food Network if you would like to read more.
We eat a lot of chicken and we use this recipe a lot for several different meals. We put them in our Copycat Freshii Bowls with our Spicy Yogurt Sauce, our Chicken Bacon Salads with Homemade Ranch, and sometimes we just eat it as is with a little hot sauce!
For this recipe you only need 5 ingredients: Salt, pepper, olive oil ,chicken of course, and your favorite no salt seasoning. We get ours from Costco because it is very well used. You can also find it here on Amazon!
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper (about small pinch of each for each side of chicken)
- about 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of no salt seasoning per chicken breast
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°.
- Coat all sides of your chicken breasts with the ingredients, and honestly I really don’t measure mine because we make it so often, I just sprinkle some on to coat the chicken.
- Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until your meat thermometer measures 165°.
- Remove from oven and let rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before cutting because you want to let it rest. Enjoy!
