Ingredients
- 4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast about 6 breasts
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- Olive oil or your choice of cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F degrees.
- For easy clean up, line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
- Brush the chicken with a little olive oil or give them a quick spray of cooking spray.
- Mix the salt and pepper in a small bowl and season both sides of the chicken breasts with the mixture
- Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, uncovered.
- Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- Chicken should register 160°F degrees. The chicken will continue to cook when removed from heat and come to temperature.
- Remove chicken, tent or loosely cover, and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
This cooking time works on chicken breasts of nearly all sizes, from ¾ inch up to 1 ½ inches. If your chicken breast is thinner than ¾ inch thick, reduce cooking time to 25 minutes.
To store, place in a storage container. I prefer glass to plastic for this. Pour the accumulated pan juices over the chicken for flavor and to keep the chicken moist. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
