Broil chicken breasts for a simple but delicious way to prepare chicken. Extra-virgin olive oil and generous amounts of salt and pepper make for a savory chicken breast that is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 bone-in chicken breast halves with skin
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
-
1
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Rub olive oil over each chicken breast, then season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place the chicken skin-side down on a broiling pan.

Broil in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken breast skin-side up. Continue broiling until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Sourdough and Banana Pancakes
A tasty and easy breakfast for two hearty appetites! Perfect for when you need to use up some starter and have an overripe banana. I add mini chocolate chips to mine.
Mandarin Chicken Pasta Salad
I had this at a party and couldn't get it off my mind. It's a fruity Asian chicken pasta salad that even my family's picky eaters enjoy. I bake my own chicken for added flavor, which increases the prep time, but pre-cooked or canned chicken will also work just fine.
Sweet and Silky Strawberry Sorbet
Unable to find the perfect sorbet recipe, I made my own. This sweet, soft strawberry sorbet rivals any brand in the grocery store. Most homemade sorbets resemble an icy slushie, but this one is thickened before freezing, yielding a melt-in-your-mouth treat that will please even the pickiest sorbet lover. It's dually great because it can be made in an ice cream machine or your regular freezer.
