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

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2

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

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

To serve, drizzle the pan sauce over the chicken.
