Tips for making baked chicken breasts

Pound the chicken to an even thickness. Most chicken breasts have thick and thin ends, which means baking them this way will ensure one end is under cooked and one end is dry. If you pound your chicken breasts to an even thickness with the flat side of a meat mallet, your chicken breasts will bake evenly.
Pat your chicken dry. Drying the outside of the chicken breasts with some disposable kitchen paper towels will help the chicken brown nicely and ensure the outside of the chicken breasts doesn’t get dry.
Sear the chicken first. Browning the chicken breasts on both sides before baking helps seal in the juices and creates tons of flavour!
Use an oven thermometer. Just because you set the temperature on your oven doesn’t mean your oven actually reaches that exact temperature. Use an oven thermometer to test your oven temperature to make sure it’s accurate – that way you won’t under or over cook your chicken breasts.
Use a meat thermometer. Using a meat thermometer to cook just until the chicken breasts reach 74 degrees Celsius (165 Fahrenheit) will ensure the chicken stays perfectly moist and juicy. If you don’t have a meat thermometer, it’s a worthwhile investment that won’t break the bank. THIS ONE is my favourite (affiliate link), but one of my other favourites for this recipe is about $7 from Ikea.
Let the meat rest. Let the chicken rest for at least 7 minutes before slicing into it. As a result, it will stay nice and juicy inside!
