Baked Chicken Breasts with Vegetables are so flavorful and particularly low-fat compared to dark meat chicken. I am sharing with you all the secrets to yield the most delicious, tender and juicy chicken breast.
The secrets are the following few simple steps, but it will make a huge difference! First clean and pat dry your chicken breasts and then rub them with olive oil. Add your favorite seasoning. Then bake them at 450°F for 18 to 20 minutes. Baking them at a high temperature for a short time makes for extra tender chicken breasts.
Note: The traditional way of baking them at 350°F for 30 minutes will dry out your chicken breasts and make it chewy.
