Notes

Chicken breast is easy to cook in the oven but we always recommend using an instant-read thermometer to make sure the internal temperature reaches 165.

This can be baked on a lined baking sheet or glass/ceramic baking dish but using a liner like parchment paper makes for an easy cleanup.

Any type of vegetable and starch can be added as a side for this oven baked chicken breast but our favorites are carrots, asparagus. roasted potatoes, and rice!
