- Remove the chicken from the oven, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Bake at 425 degrees F for 15 to 22 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F.
Notes
- Change the seasoning: You can definitely play around with the seasoning on this chicken! Replace with your preferred spice mixture (taco seasoning, Italian seasoning, Cajun seasoning, and more)
- Should I bake more than four? Definitely! Although you might wish to prepare extra seasoning, you can bake as many chicken breasts as there is room for on your pan without their being crowded. Use a rimmed sheet pan if required so that you may bake a few extra.
- Can I swap out chicken breasts for boneless chicken thighs? Yes! You can fit twice as many boneless, skinless chicken thighs on the pan and they should cook in the same amount of time. Always use your meat thermometer to assess the level of doneness.
