Oven Roasted Bone In Chicken Breast

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil (or coat a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and chicken bouillon cube. Break the cube apart to combine with the olive oil. Add seasoning (onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika) and mix until you have a paste to coat the chicken breasts with.

Step 3

Rinse the chicken breasts, and pat them dry. Place the chicken breasts, breast side down, on your prepared baking sheet or in your baking dish. Coat each chicken breast with the seasoned bouillon paste, starting with lightly covering the bone side (ribs) and then turning over to coat the breast side thoroughly.

Step 4

Bake at 400 degrees (205 degrees C) for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when measured with a digital meat thermometer at the thickest portion of the chicken breast. *Check next to the bone for best results.

Step 5

Remove the chicken when done, cover loosely with a square of aluminum foil 'tented' over the chicken breasts. Allow the chicken to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
