Bbq baked chicken breasts with olive oil

Cooking a delicious BBQ baked chicken breast doesn’t have to be complicated. With just a few simple ingredients like chicken breasts, BBQ sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper, you can create a mouthwatering dish that's perfect for any occasion. This recipe is easy to follow and yields a tender and flavorful result every time.

Ingredients:

4 oz chicken breasts
110g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
2 tbsp BBQ sauce
36g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps in achieving a nice sear and ensures the seasoning sticks well.
3. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
4. Add Olive Oil: In a small bowl, measure out 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Rub the olive oil all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. This will help keep the chicken moist and add a nice flavor during baking.
5. Add BBQ Sauce: Using a brush or the back of a spoon, evenly coat each chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce. Make sure each breast is thoroughly covered with the sauce.
6. Bake the Chicken: Place the seasoned and sauced chicken breasts in a baking dish. Leave a little space between them for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts, so checking the internal temperature is important.
7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, ensuring it stays moist and flavorful.
8. Serve: After resting, slice or serve the chicken breasts whole alongside your favorite sides. Enjoy your delicious BBQ baked chicken breasts with olive oil!

Tips:

- Choose high-quality chicken breasts for the best results.

- Let the chicken marinate in the BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.

- Preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.

- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

- Brush the chicken with extra BBQ sauce halfway through baking for added flavor.

- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to retain its juices.

BBQ baked chicken breasts with olive oil is a simple yet delicious dish that's perfect for weeknight dinners or gatherings. By following these steps and tips, you can create a juicy and flavorful meal that will impress your family and friends. Enjoy your perfectly baked BBQ chicken breasts!
