Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts and buttermilk into a large resealable plastic bag, knead several times to coat chicken with buttermilk, and squeeze air from the bag. Seal and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
1 pinch Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®), or to taste
1 tablespoon water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat convection oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with salt and Creole seasoning. Place chicken in a broiler pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from pan. Pour water into the pan, while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add more water if needed to dislodge the browned bits; serve alongside chicken.

Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave some space between the chicken breasts so that they cook evenly.
  • Flip the chicken halfway through cooking. This will help ensure that both sides cook evenly.
  • Use a wire rack to place the chicken on. This will help the chicken crisp up and prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, green beans, and cornbread.

Conclusion:

Oven-fried chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
