2. Chicken breasts are one of the tastiest and healthiest foods
to prepare. They are also easy to prepare in the oven.
There are certain precautions to take when baking
chicken breasts. Just a slight variation could cause the
meat in your chicken to dry out. Baking for 30 minutes at
350 degrees will leave you with dry meat. However, 20
minutes at 450 degrees will present you with juicy and
flavorful meat. While juicy flavorful chicken is good, here
are 10 recipes that can take your chicken game to the
next level.
3. 1. Basic
First, prepare the ingredients you want to use. Pre-heat
oven to 400 degrees F. Brush the chicken with oil and
your desired seasoning. Then arrange them in a single
layer in a baking or roasting pan. Bake until the meat
is no longer pink. A meat thermometer is helpful in
this case. When the thermometer reads 170 degrees
F, then the meat is ready to serve.
4. 2. Creole
Take four boneless chicken breasts and place them in a
baking pan. Butter them down with 1 tablespoon of
butter so that they do not stick. Take 1 teaspoon of
Tony's original seasoning and spread it evenly on the
breasts. Add salt, pepper and other seasonings
according to your preference. Pre-heat oven to 450
degrees F and then
cook the chicken for 20 minutes or until fully cooked.
5. 3. BBQ
This recipe involves frozen pieces of chicken. You can
either use packaged BBQ sauce or you can create
your own mix. In order to create your own mix, you
need 1/4 cup of ketchup, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1
tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar, 2
teaspoons of yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon of water,
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt,
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and some hot sauce for
a little kick. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine all of the ingredients until they have a
smooth texture.
Take some foil and line the baking pan. Place the frozen
chicken on the pan with 3/4 of the mixed sauce. Bake
for up to 50 minutes; basting the chicken with the
rest of the sauce once every ten minutes.
6. 4. Casserole
This recipe requires four chicken breasts, 1 can of
chicken broth, 1 tablespoon of grated onion, 1/2 cup
of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1
teaspoon of sugar, 1 can of cream of chicken soup,
crushed potato chips, and slivered almonds. Take the
chicken breasts and remove the skin. Add water and
the can of chicken broth until it is covered. Boil it.
Let it simmer for 15 minutes. Mix in the rest of the
ingredients together. Bake at 350 degrees for 20
minutes. Cover it up with almonds and potato chips.
Bake for another 10 minutes
7. 5. Honey baked
For this dish you need 1 cut up frying chicken, 4
tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of
pineapple juice, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1
teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of curry powder.
Coat the chicken well with the ingredients in a large
baking dish. Bake uncovered for an hour at 375
degrees; turning it at least once.

chopped mushrooms, 1/2 cup of chopped carrots, 2
green onions, parsley, 1/4 of a green pepper, 1 small
