Recipe Summary Basic Broiled Chicken Breasts
This is a simple but delicious way to prepare chicken. Good-quality olive oil and generous amounts of salt and pepper make for a savory chicken breast that is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.Ingredients | Temperature Of Cooked Chicken Breast3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil4 bone-in chicken breast halves with skin2 teaspoons kosher salt1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepperDirectionsPreheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Rub olive oil over each chicken breast, then season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place the chicken skin-side down on a broiling pan.Broil in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken breast skin-side up. Continue broiling the chicken until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and allow meat to rest for 5 minutes before serving.If desired, add a quarter cup of water to the bottom of the broiling pan and stir to dissolve the browned-bits from the chicken juices. Use as a light sauce on the chicken.Info | Temperature Of Cooked Chicken Breastprep: 5 mins cook: 20 mins additional: 5 mins total: 30 mins Servings: 4 Yield: 4 servings
