Preheat your oven to 400°F.*
Rinse chicken breast under running water. Pat dry with a paper towel. Make sure breasts are completely dry before continuing. Be sure to wash your hands after handling raw chicken – hot water and soap.
Prepare a foil lined baking sheet and mist lightly with a non stick cooking spray (easy cleanup). Season the under side of each breast with a good amount of kosher salt and then place the breasts on the baking sheet, salted side down. Season the top of each breast with more kosher salt and freshly ground balack pepper. I like to use tongs to handle the chicken, so I don’t have to keep washing my hands. This makes seasoning the chicken much easier.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 160°F (about 17 – 20 minutes).
Remove the chicken breasts from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. I like to wrap the breasts in foil to keep them warm.
