Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt I used Lawry's
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Add half the oil to a baking dish and rub around the bottom (where the chicken will touch).
- Then, add the chicken and pour the remaining oil on top. Rub it around so the entire top of the chicken breast is covered.
- Sprinkle on the seasoning salt and pepper.
- Bake at 450°F for 14-18 minutes. Check to make sure the chicken is done (see notes).
- Then allow to rest for 3-5 minutes before cutting or serving.
Notes
- The best way to check that your chicken is done is to use a meat thermometer and make sure the thickest part of the chicken has reached 165°F.
- If you don’t have a meat thermometer, you can check the chicken by cutting into the thickest part. The meat should be white (not pink) and the juices from the chicken should run clear.
