How to bake Chicken Breasts in the oven for Garlic Butter Chicken Breasts Recipe

Baking Chicken Breasts in the oven is an easy and healthy way to enjoy Chicken Breasts. Plus it will be crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Just follow these four steps:

STEP 1: Brine - In a ziplock resealable bag, put the pounded Chicken Breasts along with some Lukewarm Water and 1 teaspoon of Salt. Allow it to sit for 15 minutes. You can also, store this overnight in the refrigerator.

STEP 2:  Brush with Butter - Now you can use Olive Oil, but you won't get that golden crust. So, I recommend using Melted Butter and some Olive Oil, to brush on both sides of the Chicken Before oven frying them to get that perfect Golden Brown Crust.

STEP 3: Season - Seasoning the Chicken with some Salt & Pepper and for this recipe with some Garlic Powder, Dried Oregano, Paprika, Flour, and Parmesan Cheese.

STEP 4: Roast the Chicken - Preheat the oven to 450F. Place the Chicken Breasts in the baking dish and bake for 15-17 minutes. The baking time of the Chicken hugely depends on the thickness of the Chicken Breasts. If your Chicken Breasts are pounded and are thin, then it should take about 12-15 minutes to get roasted.

Roasting the Chicken at such a high temperature will help develop a crispy golden crust over the Chicken and will seal the flavors of the spices in the Chicken Breasts.

After you've roasted the Chicken use a meat thermometer and check the temperature of the Chicken. If it reads 165°F (74˚C), then your Chicken is safe to be eaten. Or else, cook it for some more time.
