This is the most popular of all chicken breast recipes that I’ve ever published. It’s baked apple chicken recipes JUICY Oven Baked Chicken Breast sprinkled with a magic simple seasoning, baked until caramelised. It’s simple, fast and incredibly tasty!

So today, I’m sharing my recipe for how I make Oven Baked Chicken Breast. We can never have too many really great quick chicken breast recipes! As simple as it sounds, if you whack a seasoned breast in the oven without thought, the chances are you’ll be chewing your way through dry chicken, furiously squirting over copious amounts of ketchup to try to salvage it. It doesn’t need to be that way. Yes it adds sweetness but don’t worry, this baked chicken breast is still savoury! The seasoning for this chicken is actually a really great indicator for when the chicken is cooked to perfection. Basically, once the surface of the chicken is caramelised, it’s cooked to perfection inside so get it out of the oven!

This has the  double effect of even cooking as well as tenderising the meat. Have a browse below of what others have to say! Try serving this with a side of Garlic Butter Rice with Kale, pictured in post. Otherwise, try a flavoured Rice Side like Tomato Basil Rice or Mushroom Rice. If you’re in the mood for potatoes, try this Lemon Potato Salad, a classic creamy  Potato Salad or a lighter No-Mayo Red Potato Salad with Charred Corn and Bacon. And for something fresh, Spring Salad or Creamy Cucumber Salad with Lemon Yogurt Dressing would go with the chicken beautifully. More chicken breast recipes readers love!

My tips for a truly juicy, Oven Baked Chicken Breast: a touch of brown sugar in the seasoning which makes the chicken sweat while it bakes so it creates a semi “sauce”, and cooking fast on a high temp! Go by the colour of the crust to know when it’s cooked through. Place chicken upside down on tray. Drizzle chicken with about 1 tsp oil.

Drizzle with 1 tsp oil, rub with fingers, sprinkle with Seasoning, covering as much of the surface area as you can. Remove from oven and immediately transfer chicken to serving plates. 5 minutes before serving, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Pictured with a side of Garlic Butter Rice with Kale. 2 thin steaks and skip the pounding. Make sure they are no thicker than 1. I love hearing how you went with my recipes!

This is in the oven with your smashed potatoes right now, Easy peasy! Baking both at 425 convection, putting the chicken on the same sheet pan after 25 minutes. Quantities for brown sugar and spices? This Sunday we prepared the Oven Baked Chicken Breasts for 20.

When it was time to bake the chicken, we found the sugar had drawn juices out of the breast. The results were still delicious, but next time we will season the breasts early and add the brown sugar at the last minute. WOW how standing juicy and so tender a winner for our family every one loved it. Make this recipe part of my dinners now and my family love it even my little son. I have made this more then 10x now and it’s super easy and quick!

I cut my chicken breast into chicken tender size and works out great! We use the simple balsamic dressing as well. I always pound any chicken breast I intend to bake on high heat now. As with every Nagi recipe, this is amazing!
