Tips:
- To ensure the chicken breasts are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing from the oven.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check for doneness by cutting into the thickest part of the chicken breast. The juices should run clear, with no pink in the center.
- To prevent the chicken from drying out, place a baking sheet with water on the bottom rack of the oven while baking.
- For a crispier crust, brush the chicken breasts with olive oil before baking.
- If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil. However, fresh basil will give the dish a more vibrant flavor.
