THE BEST BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS

The Best Baked Chicken Breasts image

The downfall of most baked chicken breast recipes is the long time in the oven that dries out the lean meat before it can fully cook through. We've solved that problem with a couple of secret weapons. The first is white wine added to the baking dish, which creates steam. (While we think it's worth using wine, you could substitute stock or even water.) The second is a piece of parchment paper placed directly on top of the chicken to lock in the moisture during baking. The result is the best boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are plump and juicy, with a minimum of hands-on time. A bunch of parsley and lemon slices infuse the dish with fresh flavor and the seasoning is neutral enough that the chicken can be used for a variety of different meals. Serve it alongside vegetables and grains, shredded into soup, spiced up for tacos or chopped on top of salad. Feel free to switch up the herbs and citrus if you have leftovers in the fridge to use up.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 small bunch parsley
1 lemon, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
Four 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the parsley in the center of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and top with the lemon slices. Pour the wine around the parsley. Brush the tops of the chicken with the olive oil and season with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the lemon slices. Cut an 8-by-10-inch piece of parchment and place it on top of the chicken.
Bake until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on a digital thermometer, 40 to 45 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. The chicken can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Categories 30-Minute Meals

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness (4 average-sized breasts)
1 to 2 teaspoons 21 Salute Seasoning or poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1/2 cup white wine* or chicken broth, or as necessary
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, or more if you want extra sauce
1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced; or to taste
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, optional for garnishing

Steps:

To a large skillet, add the olive oil, pounded chicken, evenly season with 21 Salute, salt, pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Do not touch, move, or disturb the chicken while it is searing. After 5 minutes, flip chicken over. It should have a medium golden color. For thicker/bigger chicken breasts, sear for 6-7 minutes.
Allow chicken to cook on the second side for about 5 minutes, or until done and cooked through. Again, do not disturb the chicken while it's searing.
Remove chicken with a slotted spatula and place it on a plate to rest.
Using caution, deglaze your skillet by adding wine (or broth) and allow the liquid to bubble up and steam violently for a few seconds.
Add the butter and allow it to melt, about 1 minute; stir continuously until melted.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes; stir continuously.
Turn the heat off, add the chicken back into the skillet, flip it around in the garlic butter sauce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Tips:

Brining the chicken breasts: This is a crucial step that helps tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor. Make sure to use a large container to allow the chicken breasts to be fully submerged in the brine. You can use a simple brine made with water, salt, and sugar, or you can add other ingredients like herbs, spices, or citrus fruits for extra flavor.
Pounding the chicken breasts: This helps to flatten the chicken breasts and make them more evenly cooked. Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them until they are about 1/2-inch thick.
Using a flavorful breading: The breading is what gives the chicken breasts their crispy exterior and delicious flavor. You can use a variety of breading options, such as flour, breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, or crushed crackers. Season the breading with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
Pan-frying the chicken breasts: This is the best way to achieve a crispy crust on the chicken breasts. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Serving the chicken breasts: Chicken breasts to die for can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad. You can also drizzle the chicken breasts with a flavorful sauce, such as a lemon-herb sauce or a honey-mustard sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken breasts to die for is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
