How to bake a chicken breast in the oven
There are many ways to cook chicken breasts in the oven. If you had a look at the baked chicken recipes above, you certainly have noticed various cooking methods. Roasting the chicken breasts on a baking sheet or a baking dish is pretty common and the simplest way to do it. Make sure to marinate the chicken beforehand to avoid drying up the meat. You can also cover the chicken breast with foil or parchment for the first half of cooking time to keep moisture. This leads us to baking chicken breasts in foil or parchment pockets: This method is super easy and enhances the flavors of chicken and whatever spices and vegetables you throw in. Tip: Open the packets and switch the oven to broil for 2 minutes to crisp things up at the end of cooking!
How long should you bake a chicken breast?
To bake a medium-sized chicken breast (4-oz), bake at 350°F (177˚C) for 25 to 30 minutes and around 20 minutes at 400°F (200°C), more or less depending on the thickness of the chicken breast. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, it should read 165˚F (74˚C). Tip: To bake the chicken breasts faster, you can slice it lengthwise to make it thinner.
How to make baked chicken breast so tender?
Restaurants chef often make baked chicken breasts tender by marinating them in acidic ingredients such as buttermilk, yogurt, vinegar, or lemon juice. This helps to break down the proteins in the chicken, making it more tender. Additionally, they often pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness so that they cook evenly in the oven. Finally, baking at a higher temperature, such as 400ºF (200ºC), helps to lock in the moisture.
