This baked chicken breast is easy to make with just a few ingredients. I use this basic recipe when another recipe calls for cooked chicken. It works great for everything and is super customizable. Sometimes I use garlic salt or other seasonings, depending on what I'm using it for.
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups butter , melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 skinless , boneless chicken breast halves
Instructions
-
1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter a baking dish.
-
2
Stir together melted butter and salt in a bowl.
-
3
Arrange chicken in the prepared baking dish. Brush butter mixture onto chicken until thoroughly coated, pouring any extra over chicken.
-
4
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Carrot Cake VI
I received this recipe almost 50 years ago when I was on my first job. The carrots are precooked with the spices, making it very moist and delicious.
Sparkling PB&J Sidecars
A classic sidecar calls for Cognac, orange liqueur, and lemon juice, but this PB&J-inspired rendition subs in peanut butter whiskey and adds raspberry liqueur. Top it off with sparkling water for an effervescent cocktail with a hint of nostalgia.
Tobacco Onions
Tobacco onions are deep-fried crispy onion slices that have been seasoned with cayenne pepper for a darker color. There is no tobacco involved! They're served on burgers or with steak in lots of English and Irish pubs. They are also delicious on top of salads and soups.
