Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded to even thickness)
Kosher salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons melted butter (or olive oil)
1/4 cup “Everything” Seasoning Blend
Optional garnishes: chopped fresh parsley, lemon wedges, or grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Brine the Chicken: Fill a large bowl with 1 quart warm water and 1/4 cup kosher salt. Stir until mostly dissolved. Submerge chicken breasts and let sit 15 minutes. Rinse under cold water, then pat dry. (Skip if your chicken is pre-brined.)
-
Prepare the Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
-
Season the Chicken: Brush each breast evenly with melted butter or oil. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of “Everything” Seasoning on each piece. Pat lightly to help it stick.
-
Bake to Perfection: Arrange chicken in a single layer in the baking dish. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
-
Rest and Serve: Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest 5–10 minutes. Serve immediately with your favorite sides or refrigerate for later.
