Baked Chicken Breast

This classic Baked Chicken Breast is one of our favorites. This chicken stays moist and is seasoned perfectly. It's my go-to recipe when making chicken and it comes out perfect each time. 

Chicken is served a lot in my home. It's easy to make and my kids love it, can't really go wrong there.

This Baked Chicken Breast is my go-to recipe for just a classic chicken. With just a few simple seasons and a few hours in the fridge, this chicken comes out perfect every time. 

How to make Baked Chicken Breasts:

This recipe for baking chicken breasts is very easy. I start with marinating the chicken in a bag for about 24 hours.

Then we bake in the oven. I love to serve these boneless chicken breasts with my Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes and some Roasted Vegetables.

Ingredients:

This recipe for baked chicken is as simple as it gets with very few ingredients needed. Two main ingredients and then whatever seasoning you want. I share how to season and marinade these breasts in the next step.

• Chicken breasts - boneless and skinless
•  Oil - I used vegetable or olive oil. Any oil you use for cooking will work.

How to season Baked Chicken Breast:

To season this chicken I started with vegetable oil. You can use other oils but remember some oils like olive oil can change the taste while vegetable is very mild. I then used the following seasonings and whisked them together with the oil:

• paprika
• parsley
• onion
• garlic
• salt
• pepper

Below I have how much I used of each but you can, of course, add these seasonings to taste.

Directions:

Step One: Start by placing your chicken into a large freezer bag. I will let these marinate for about 24 hours, but you do not have to.

• Tip: If you do not have a large freezer bag you can marinade in a large bowl. Just cover and put in the refrigerator.

Step Two: Place oil in a mixing bowl. Whisk in all remaining ingredients. Pour this over your chicken. Marinate overnight for best results or cook immediately. Both will have great taste but leaving it overnight will help that flavor to get inside the chicken.

Step Three: Preheat the oven then place chicken in a dish and bake until chicken is fully cooked. Time will vary depending on the size of your chicken breast. Chicken should be over 165 degrees F before eating.

Step four: Once cooked allow to rest for 5 minutes then serve.
