Baked chicken breast

Baked chicken breast is a simple yet delicious meal that's perfect for any night of the week. It's easy to prepare and can be paired with a variety of sides for a wholesome dinner. This recipe uses minimal ingredients to bring out the natural flavors of the chicken, making it a healthy and flavorful choice.

Ingredients:

1 chicken breasts
120g
1/4 tsp salt
1.50g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1.05g
1/4 cup chicken broth
60g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken:
- Rinse the chicken breast under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides of the chicken breast with the salt and black pepper, ensuring an even coating.
3. Arrange for Baking:
- Place the seasoned chicken breast in an oven-safe baking dish.
- Pour the 1/4 cup of chicken broth into the dish around the chicken breast. This will help keep the chicken moist as it bakes.
4. Bake the Chicken:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. This will help to keep the chicken moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
5. Finish and Serve:
- Once the chicken is done, carefully remove the baking dish from the oven.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a tender and flavorful result.
6. Optional:
- For added flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the chicken broth before baking.
- You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice over the chicken before serving for a fresh, zesty finish.

Tips:

- For juicier chicken, consider marinating the chicken breast in your favorite marinade for at least 30 minutes before baking.

- Make sure to preheat the oven to ensure even cooking and proper browning of the chicken.

- Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute within the meat.

- Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices to the seasoning for extra flavor.

Your baked chicken breast is now ready to be enjoyed! The simplicity of this recipe ensures that the chicken is moist, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Pair it with your favorite vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal. Enjoy your delicious, home-cooked chicken breast.
