Roasted boneless chicken breasts are often complemented with a sauce or gravy.
Sometimes it gets annoying to have to contend with all the bones when you are trying to enjoy your chicken. Fortunately, most grocery stores offer boneless chicken options, including boneless chicken breasts. One of the more popular chicken cuts, boneless chicken breasts are versatile and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Roasting the chicken in the oven will result in moist, juicy chicken. A little salt and pepper is all you need, but you can experiment with other flavorful seasonings if you prefer. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Coat each chicken breast in the olive oil.
3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Add additional seasonings such as garlic powder, lemon-pepper and dried herbs as you see fit. If the chicken breasts still have the skin on, peel back the skin and season the meat underneath as well as the skin.
4. Line a roasting pan with foil and lay the seasoned chicken in the pan, skin side up if the skin is still attached.
5. Bake the chicken in the oven for about 35 minutes, until the juices run clear when you cut into the chicken. Check with an instant-read food thermometer to make sure each chicken breast has reached at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
