Instructions
- Prepare your marinade according to linked recipe instructions. Place marinade in a bag and add all four chicken breasts. Place in the fridge to marinate for 30-60 minutes.
- When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 450°F.
- Remove the marinated chicken from the bag and add in a single layer to a 9x13 baking dish.
- Pour the melted butter over the four chicken breasts.
- Pour the rest of the marinade from the bag into the dish/over the chicken.
- Cook for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches at least 165°F).
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest in the pan for 10 minutes.
Notes
- Storage: Store baked lemon pepper chicken in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days, or freeze for 3 months.
- Be sure to fully preheat the oven for best results.
- Take a mallet or a meat tenderizer and give the chicken a few wacks. This will level out the meat ao that it cooks evenly, eliminating the risk of some parts cooking faster than others.
- Arrange lemon pepper chicken in single layer in the baking dish and give them space. More space allows the hot air to circulate on all sides of the chicken so that it roasts up nicely.
- Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165F. I highly suggest using an instant read meat thermometer to make sure it's fully cooked.
- Let marinated chicken breast rest for 10 minutes before serving.
