I knew I was going to bake some chicken, but had no idea what kind. I knew it had to be simple...so simple that you can prepare it with one hand.
This is what I came up with. And it's delicious!!
Put the chicken in the pan. Sprinkle a few things on top. And put it in the oven. In an hour you have moist, flavorful chicken. Perfect.
It's a little sweet and a little savory. Just what I like.
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. honey
1/4 - 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs of choice (can be gluten free or substitute with seasoned almond or coconut flour for grain free)
Heat oven to 350. Butter/grease a small baking dish.
Place chicken in baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and garlic powder. Drizzle eat breast with honey. Rub slightly to cover. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top.
Cover dish and bake for 40 minutes. Remove cover and turn heat up to 400. Bake another 20 minutes, until topping is crisp and chicken is cooked through.
Love quick and easy meals!! Were your chicken breasts partially frozen to have cooked so long?
ReplyDeleteNo, they were actually thawed (for once :P). The breading on the chicken and having the pan covered keep them moist. I like to cook them longer like that. I find that cooking them high heat/shorter time makes them dry. They easily could have stayed in the oven longer :)
ReplyDeleteI don't use high heat on b/s chicken breasts, either. Usually 350 and covered.. But they end up being done much sooner than yours. And still dry out if they cook longer. Crazy!
