Feedback of Three-Ingredient Baked Chicken Breasts Recipes
I use this recipe as it was intended, to make cooked chicken I need for other recipes and it’s perfect! (You may prefer to adjust the salt in certain other recipes that also call for salt when using this chicken, especially if you tend to like less salt generally.)
For dinner this evening I prepared this 3 Ingredient Chicken. I followed the recipe, though I added onion powder, garlic & lemon pepper into the melted butter.I like chicken breasts that have some color, the last 10-15 minutes of cooking time, I changed my oven to broil 550 degrees.This chicken was moist, tender & delicious! From now on when needing cooked chicken for enchiladas, tacos, chicken salad, etc., I’ll cook chicken this way.
Thank you ! So versatile, can bake as is or stuff with everything from seafood to stove top stuffing ! Easy weekday Mom meal !
To anyone who gave a low rating and said it was "blah", did you even read the submitters comments and list of ingredients? Jennifer stated that it was an easy recipe she uses when she has a need for "cooked" chicken in another recipe. It's perfect for that and great on it's own if you jazz it up with additional seasonings. Common sense people!
Very good
I am a lazy novice cook and am always looking for "stupid easy" recipes. This was a home run. I never thought using butter instead of olive oil could make such a difference. In addition to the salt, I added some ground black pepper and a couple shakes of garlic powder (not garlic salt) to the butter mixture. Baked the chicken breasts at 375 degrees for 40 minutes, since they were very thick. In hindsight, 35 minutes would have been plenty. I also cut up some carrots and laid them on parchment paper in a baking tin, drizzled them with melted butter, and put them in the oven at the same time as the chicken. The carrots came out perfect, and the parchment paper kept the baking tin almost spotless. The whole meal was soooo easy! Healthy, and yummy, too. Win win and win some more!
Delicious! Made Uncle Ben's Fried Rice and mushrooms ? as side. Wedge Salad too. A repeat meal !!!!
I used garlic salt, onion salt and paprika. I cooked it covered with foil then uncovered for about 10 minutes at the end for a little color. Absolutely delicious. I used thighs instead of breasts but didn't notice a problem.
I added some rosemary, basil and parsley. The chicken breasts that I had were very large, so I cut them in half lengthwise. Unfortunately, mine did not turn out as tender as I expected, after having read all the reviews.
