Simple Baked Chicken Breasts

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.
