Oven chicken breasts

Oven chicken breasts are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken. This recipe combines the tangy zest of lemon with the robust flavor of black pepper, all encased in a crispy, oven-baked coating. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, these chicken breasts are both easy to prepare and sure to impress.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
100g
1 cup bread crumbs
80g
1 cup coconut flour
120g
2 chicken breasts
240g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's properly heated when the chicken is ready to be baked.
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet:
Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray oil. Make sure to cover the surface evenly to prevent the chicken from sticking.
3. Prepare the Breading Stations:
- In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well blended. This will be the first station.
- In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the bread crumbs and coconut flour. This will be the second station.
4. Prepare the Chicken Breasts:
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. If the chicken breasts are very thick, consider flattening them slightly to ensure even cooking.
5. Coat the Chicken:
- Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
- Transfer the chicken breast to the bread crumb and coconut flour mix, pressing down and turning to coat both sides evenly. Shake off any excess coating.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between the pieces to allow for even cooking.
7. Bake:
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
8. Serve:
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making for a juicier chicken.

Tips:

- For a stronger lemon flavor, add some freshly squeezed lemon juice to the egg mixture.

- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.

- Use a wire rack on top of a baking sheet to allow air to circulate around the chicken, helping it to crisp up evenly.

- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings or herbs in the bread crumb mixture to suit your taste.

- Let the breaded chicken rest for a few minutes before baking; this helps the coating adhere better.

- Preheat the oven to ensure it reaches the right temperature before you start baking the chicken.

In just a few simple steps, you can enjoy a flavorful and healthy meal with these oven chicken breasts. The blend of coconut flour and bread crumbs creates a crispy, golden crust, while the lemon pepper adds a burst of refreshing flavor. Perfectly cooked and oven-baked to perfection, this dish is bound to become a household favorite.
