The secret to juicy baked chicken breast? Bake for a short time at a high temperature. Baking for 30 minutes at 350 degrees will yield dry meat. But baking for just 20 minutes at 450 degrees will result in delightfully juicy baked chicken breast, every time.

OPEN SLIDESHOW
This is the cooking method that made me realize that boneless, skinless chicken breasts can be pretty darn delicious. They don't have to be dry and boring. They can, in fact, be moist, tender, and full of flavor — something I actually look forward to having for dinner.
I learned this way of cooking chicken in culinary school. It's technically called "dry-poaching," but that sounds fussy for what is essentially an incredibly simple technique. Here's how you, too, can make the best-ever chicken breasts in just a few steps.

Why This Method Is So Good
There is so little fat in a boneless skinless chicken breast that it's hard to cook it without the meat ending up dry or just plain tasteless. With this method, we take advantage of the steady, all-surrounding heat of the oven, but just before putting the breasts in to bake, we cover them with a piece of parchment paper. The paper acts almost like the chicken's missing skin, protecting the chicken and preventing it from drying out.

Think of this method as a cross between braising and roasting. The chicken bastes in its own juices and the result is tender, juicy chicken breasts that are succulent and never dry.

A Versatile Method
This way of cooking chicken is incredibly easy and it's never failed me. I also love it for when I want to cook several chicken breasts all at once, as when I'm cooking for a big family meal or to prep lunches for the week. In the recipe below, I season the chicken with just salt and pepper, but you can use any spices you wish or adapt it to your favorite recipes.
Super versatile, super dependable. If you've struggled with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, this is definitely the method to try.

Heat the oven to 400°F and prepare the pan: Heat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the middle position. Rub the pan with butter or olive oil; this prevents the chicken from sticking.
Instructions
Heat the oven to 400°F and prepare the pan: Heat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the middle position. Rub the pan and one side of the parchment paper with butter or olive oil; this prevents the chicken from sticking.
Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken dry and rub with a little butter or olive oil, if desired. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any other favorite seasonings.
Transfer to the baking dish: Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish, spaced slightly apart. You can also tuck herbs or lemon wedges around the chicken for extra flavor.
Cover with the parchment: Lay the parchment, butter-side down, over the chicken. Tuck the edges into the pan and press the parchment down so that it's snug around the chicken. The chicken breasts should be completely covered with the parchment.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes: Transfer the chicken to the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is completely opaque all the way through and registers 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
Serve: Serve the chicken immediately, or let it cool and refrigerate for up to a week.

Recipe type: Entree, Gluten-Free, Low-Carb, Primal/Paleo
Yield: 2 servings
New quantity:Recalculate
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb. total weight)
Olive oil cooking spray, or 2 teaspoons olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking dish with foil.
Spray or brush both sides of each chicken breast with olive oil, and sprinkle with the seasonings.
Bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes, flip to the other side, lightly spray/brush again and bake for 8-10 more minutes, or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork (it's fine to make a small slit in the thickest part and see if it's done!).
Transfer the baked chicken breasts to a platter. Loosely cover with foil and allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Sometimes I get really large chicken breasts at the store - total weight 2 pounds - in this case I find that baking them 15 minutes on each side is just right. Of course, the best way to make sure they are done is to use an instant-read thermometer. It should read 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part.
