For extra flavour, garlic butter mixes through the cooked pan juices to serve your chicken drizzled in the best sauce! THE JUICIEST OVEN BAKED CHICKEN BREAST RIGHT HERE!For years I tried so many recipes and techniques for a juicy baked chicken breast. Disappointed every single time and having to chew though mouthful of dry chicken, dipping each forkful in mayonnaise just to get through it. If you love food as much as I do, this is usually a completely heartbreaking experience. Enter our recipe: easy, fast and simple. No weird steps, no wrapping, tenting, brining or marinating needed. Just a good flavoured seasoning rubbed all over our chicken and let your oven do all the work. This is how I make the most incredible baked chicken breast that retain all of their natural juices! The best part about this recipe are the pan juices that mix through the seasoning to give you a little something extra to drizzle them with when serving. CHICKEN BREAST SEASONINGYou only need a handful of seasoning ingredients for this one: paprika (mild, sweet or smoky), brown sugar (or a brown sugar substitute for Keto readers), oregano (or Thyme), onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Adapted from our Cajun Butter Chicken recipe without the heat! Of course, you can add the heat if you desire! All of these ingredients together smothered all over your chicken breasts makes MAGIC and the perfect balance. The brown sugar lets the chicken sweat while baking, making our baked chicken breast even juicer! Much like our your favourite Chili Lime Chicken. HOW LONG TO COOK CHICKEN BREASTSLarge chicken breasts (7oz or 200g) take about 20-22 minutes to cook. Medium-sized breasts (5 – 6oz or 150 – 180g) take about 18-20 minutes. You also have the option of throwing on your broiler in the last 2 minutes to get crispier edges! Cooking them at high heat ensures the crispy, caramelised edges, while keeping your chicken super juicy on the inside. Once the chicken is golden and caramelised, it’s cooked! Let it rest for about 5 minutes to recirculate all of those natural juices through the meat. COOKED CHICKEN TEMPERATUREIf unsure your chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer. It should read 165°F (75°C) when inserted in the thickest part of the meat. WHAT TO SERVE WITH BAKED CHICKENSo many options go with this recipe!
