Roasted Chicken Breasts

I created it up some time ago...it's easy, tasty, fairly inexpensive and my family likes it. I have given the recipe as if you were making only 1 piece of meat...most chicken breasts are fairly large and so just use as many pieces as people you are serving unless you think someone may want a second serving. This can also be made using other chicken pieces, if you wish...but do not make with boneless pieces or it will not be as moist.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Lay chicken breasts in a greased baking dish bone side down.
  2. 2
    Sprinkle liberally with the paprika covering most of the meat.
  3. 3
    Sprinkle lightly with salt& pepper.
  4. 4
    Top each piece with a thin layer of dried minced onion.
  5. 5
    Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
  6. 6
    Remove from oven and turn over all the pieces bone side up.
  7. 7
    Sprinkle lightly the other side of the meat with more paprika, salt and pepper.
  8. 8
    Pour in the 1 1/2 cup of hot water.
  9. 9
    NOTE** DO NOT pour cold water into a hot glass baking dish or it will break.
  10. 10
    Add the 2 teaspoons of chicken base or bouillon to the water.
  11. 11
    Bake another 30 minutes.
  12. 12
    Make sure juices run clear.
  13. 13
    Let meat sit in the juices in the baking dish for at least 5 minutes before serving to allow some of the juices to be absorbed in the meat.
  14. 14
    Turn the pieces back over and serve bone side down for prettiest presentation.
  15. 15
    The meat should be done all the way through and yet still nice and juicy.

Thank you so much, CarrolJ! I have been looking hard for a bone-in recipe and am thrilled to have found this one. I agree with all that Chef Doozer had to say. The only 2 minor adjustments I made were to use Lawry's Perfect Blend Seasoning and Rub instead of salt & pepper, and Swanson's Chicken Stock because it is lower sodium. The temp and timing were perfect and our chix turned out perfectly...AND smelled fabulous while baking. I will be making this regularly. With gratitude, Elizabeth

    This was an absolutely wonderful way to bake bone-in chicken breasts! Thank you! They were so moist and the recipe was very easy to follow with ingredients on hand.

    I'm always looking for different ways to prepare bone-in split breasts and this recipe fit the bill. I also am on a low carb diet and cook separate dinners for me and the family but with this recipe, I cooked one meal for everyone to enjoy. I cooked 4 large breasts (the 1 1/2 cups of water and the 2 tsp chicken broth was still enough for the 4 pieces of chicken). It's important that you use skinless breasts...a guest requested that I make 1 piece with the skin on and as it turned out, the seasonings didn't cook past the skin which left the meat underneath flavorless and the skin wet and chewy. Besides, the skin is not good for you anyway! Very tasty, low fat and healthy, thank you!

    These were great! They were so moist and juicy and had such a great flavor! We had these with a salad and rice pilaf and it made an easy yet elegant meal! Also, they were extremely easy to fix, which was a huge plus! Thanks for the great recipe Carrol! We will be making again!
