Notes
- If your chicken breasts are large and thick, you can use a meat tenderizer to pound them more evenly.
- Don’t crowd the chicken – it’s important to give it space for even cooking while it bakes.
- For juicy chicken, allow it to rest 5-10 minutes before serving. This seals the juices in.
- Use this printable meat temperature chart to ensure doneness.
