Juiciest Chicken Breast
Many of us have been taught to cook chicken at a lower temperature. If you really want to seal in the juices of chicken, try cooking it at a higher temperature. We love this recipe for absolutely wonderful baked chicken breast. Adding a touch of brown sugar to the coating gives the chicken a nice sweetness as well.
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
2 TBSP Olive Cart Lemon Avocado Oil
2 TBSP light or dark brown sugar
1 tsp Olive Cart Smoky Chicken seasoning
1 tsp dried oregano, thyme, or other herb of your choice
¼ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Flatten chicken breast to roughly ¾” thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Blend together all other ingredients except olive oil.
Place olive oil on a flat plate or bowl. Dip chicken into oil and then seasoning, turn over and repeat on other side. Place chicken on lined baking tray. Bake approximately 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown in color and internal meat temperature is 165 degrees. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 3 minutes before serving.
