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).

Serve and enjoy!
