OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS

Instructions

  1. Place rack in middle position.
  2. Heat the oven to 400°F.
  3. Rub pan and one side of parchment paper with butter or olive oil to prevent chicken from sticking.
  4. Pat chicken dry.
  5. Rub with a little butter or olive oil.
  6. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any other favorite seasonings.
  7. Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish, spaced slightly apart.
  8. You can also tuck herbs or lemon wedges around the chicken for extra flavor.
  9. Lay parchment, butter-side down, over the chicken. Tuck the edges into the pan and press the parchment down so that it's snug around the chicken. The chicken breasts should be completely covered with the parchment.
  10. Total cooking time is usually 30 to 40 minutes.
