Herb Baked Chicken Breast

A herb baked chicken breast is a delicious and healthy addition to countless recipes. Often times chicken breasts will come out too dry but if you follow this recipe you’ll have perfectly moist and tender baked chicken breasts every time! Loaded with protein they are a great way to feel full longer and are a delicious addition to any salad. Even better you can bake a bunch of them then chuck them in the fridge and use them at your own convenience.

A Herb Baked Chicken Breast is so easy to make!

I always make sure that I have a breast or two of this herb baked chicken breast in my fridge. It is a fast and convenient way to have chicken on hand for putting into sandwiches, salads, pastas, etc… the options are truly endless.

Roasting the chicken breasts is a healthy, no fuss way to cook chicken. The meat comes out soft and tender. The herb crust that I put on the chicken is to give a great herbaceous flavour to the meat. You can try this baked chicken breast in my Herb Roasted Chicken Salad W/ Homemade Roast Garlic Mayo.
Enjoy.
