Butter Baked Chicken Recipe
Description
This Butter Baked Chicken Recipe begins by preheating the oven to 350°F and preparing a baking dish. Chicken breasts are dipped briefly in water, then coated with a flour blend seasoned with kosher salt, paprika, herbes de Provence, and black pepper. The floured chicken is placed in the dish and topped with small cubes of unsalted butter.
Separately, dry milk powder is mixed with hot water to create a milk solution, which is poured around the chicken in the dish. Covering the dish with foil, the chicken bakes first uncovered for 15 minutes, then covered for an additional 30-40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. This approach helps keep the chicken moist while forming a flavorful crust from the butter and flour coating.
The well-seasoned crust combined with butter and the milk mixture keeps the chicken tender and adds savory depth. This dish can be served simply alongside vegetables or grains. Proper storage in airtight containers allows refrigeration for a few days or freezing for longer preservation.
