Cooking chicken breast in oven

This is the most popular of all chicken breast recipes that I’ve ever published. It’s a Cooking chicken breast in oven Oven Baked Chicken Breast sprinkled with a magic simple seasoning then baked until caramelised. It’s simple, fast and incredibly tasty! An incredibly easy chicken recipe that’s a reader favourite alongside Honey Garlic Chicken, this epic Parmesan Crusted Chicken and crispy Garlic Chicken.

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!

Cooking it hard and fast at a high temperature is the secret to gorgeous caramelisation and ultra juicy chicken inside. No dried out breast around here! 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.
