Simple oven baked split chicken breasts with that is moist and had great taste and crispy skin. All in a weeknight simple recipe.

Back to some “Cooking for Two” action. That means a simple tasty meat that is almost fool proof. I have had great success with bone-in skin-on chicken breast (AKA split chicken breast) on the grill last summer. While I could have grill today in Michigan, I’m really have re-orientated myself to inside cooking.

What I wanted.

A simple oven only recipe. I didn’t want to do a stove top to oven method today.
Quick and easy so even lazy me would repeat it.
I wanted crispy skin.
I wanted garlic and taste and more taste.
I looked and got some basic ideas and timing but really not what I wanted. I’m never afraid to just dive in and do it. Pizza Hut is just a phone call away.. right.

This had great taste. I would almost make it an 5.

Notes: As is my habit when dealing with split chicken breasts. I trimmed them by removing any trim-able fat. I removed that thin rib section that has little meat. And last but most important. I cut them in half. This does two important things. First it helps in even cooking. Otherwise, I burn the outside and it’s hard to get to 165. Second, more surface area means more area for spice. A great thing.
Also contains small amounts of manganese, copper and zinc.
hintChicken and Turkey are amazing sources of protein. If you're looking for lots of Iron, use the dark meat.
How to select and store Chicken and Turkey for baby food

The light meat of both turkey and chicken, such as the breast, is considered higher in protein and
lower in fat. The darker meat of chicken and turkey, such as thighs and legs, is higher in iron and higher in fat. It might be a good idea to offer your baby the darker meat of either turkey or chicken. The fat content makes this meat easy to puree into a relatively smooth texture; the higher iron makes this portion of the turkey and chicken an excellent choice.

The best way to cook Turkey and Chicken for Baby Food

A yummy way to make chicken and turkey is to boil pieces in a scant amount of water with added veggies and a dash of spice such as basil or garlic powder. I always recommend cooking any food by baking it. Baking helps retain the most nutrients with steaming being another method to retain nutrients.
Using a crock pot to cook and stew meats is another great way to cook turkey or chicken. Keep in mind that nutrients will leach into the liquid that you add to the crock pot so try to make use of the liquid by adding it back into baby's food whenever possible.
If your baby is not used to the taste of chicken or turkey, using the juice/liquid from the crock pot may make the flavor too strong. Strain the liquid if need be and use water to make a turkey or chicken puree instead.
Poach:
To poach chicken, it is easiest to first cut the chicken into dices - use boneless chicken.
Add water or broth to a sauce pan - enough to cover the meat.
Bring the contents of the saucepan to a boil and then turn heat down to simmer.
Simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes. Meat will turn white and juices will run clear.
Bake/Roast:
To bake chicken, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil
Add chicken to baking sheet, lightly season if desired and if your baby has had spices - no salt!
Sometimes I rub the chicken with a bit of olive oil and then season it - mostly if I am cooking skinless breasts.
Place baking sheet in the oven and bake until the juices run clear - baking times will vary depending on the size of the chicken portions you are cooking.
A general rule is that you should cook meat for 20 minutes per pound.
Chicken breasts may bake in 25 minutes while legs or thighs may take a shorter time.
Crockpot::
Chicken Pieces - You may braise the chicken prior to adding it to the crockpot if you wish. This is not really necessary and if you are pressed for time, you may just skip it.
Add chicken to the crockpot and cover in liquid - broth, water or a combination of the two. Using a bit of apple juice is nice as well.
Turn crockpot to low and simmer for 4-6 hours.
Whole Chicken - Wash the chicken with cool water then transfer the chicken to your crockpot. If you like, stuff the chicken with a halved lemon or orange.
Set crockpot on low and simmer for 8 hour or longer. Be sure to check the chicken and look for the juices to run clear.
