Boneless skinless chicken breasts are famous for being a versatile and healthy dinner recipe. They can accompany almost any side dish and, when chopped, they\u2019re delicious on a salad. But, baked chicken breasts can also be tricky because they\u2019re so low in fat they can become dry. But not if you follow this recipe. We\u2019re sharing a few simple steps that eliminate any pitfalls and produce a juicy, flavorful, perfectly cooked boneless chicken breast every time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First tip, tenderize the meat by pounding it out thinner. Then, make a quick marinade that further tenderizes the meat but also gives the chicken breasts great flavor. Next, cook the chicken breasts at a higher heat. Since they\u2019re tenderized and thinner, the breasts will cook quicker preventing them from drying out. A meat thermometer makes the process easier by making sure the chicken breasts aren\u2019t overcooked or still raw. Finally, allowing the meat to rest enables the juices to redistribute so when the meat is sliced into the juices stay inside the meat and don\u2019t end up on the plate.<\/p>\n

After you make these baked chicken breasts once, you\u2019ll make them again and again. It\u2019s a simple, delicious, never fail chicken recipe.<\/p>\n
