These seasoned baked chicken breasts always turn out tender, juicy, and perfect every time with this easy 5-ingredient recipe. Adding some chicken broth to the delicious pan drippings creates a flavorful sauce to serve with the chicken.

Ingredients

  • 4 skinless , 5 ounce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoons coarse sea salt , or to taste
  • 1 pinch Creole seasoning , such as Tony Chachere's®
  • 1 tablespoon chicken broth or water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with salt and Creole seasoning. Place chicken in a broiler pan.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Remove chicken to a plate. Pour chicken broth into the pan and scrape any browned bits off the bottom with a flat-edged wooden spatula. Add more broth if needed to dislodge the browned bits, but not too much or it will be watery.

  5. 5

    To serve, drizzle the pan sauce over the chicken.
