Equipment

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps them brown nicely.

  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Keep an eye on it!
  5. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps keep it juicy.
