Hehe everyone keeps giving me different degrees!

Soo lets get a final consensus - 9 chicken breasts (4.5lbs raw)

for 45 minutes at 400 degrees, middle rack, right?

yes but put on Bake not Broil

45 minutes at 400 will cook them but not over cook them, so they will still be tender inside.

after the 45 minutes is up let stand for another 10 minutes before you eat them

Well I usually let them cool off for 10-15 minutes, then chuck them in a ziploc bag for the week.

I will give it a shot, I hope 45min at 400 is enough to cook these bad boys

I will try it out tommorow, and let you know how it goes. Is it ok if I use a deep tray that you get at the supermarket, or should I use a flat tray?

deep tray is best so when you put olive oil and whatever spices you will use it will permeate the breaset more. hence more flavor!

oh so those disposable tin foil looking ones are fine? I have a few of them in my house that aren't used, and definitely fit 9 breasts...

If you're worried about them not being fully cooked you can always get a meat thermometer. That's what I use. And it does usually end up being about 45 minutes for 9 breasts. Although I cook at 350 typically. And the pan you're talking about is fine.

One thing, Costco has some pre-flavored chicken breasts for about 3.70 per lb. Comes in three varieties, lemon herb, teriyaki, and mediteranian. They taste great, have a lot of flavor, and really don't have any extra noticeable carbs or anything. They are just fresh packaged breasts with marinade in the package. Pull out, cook, and have a super tastey chicken breast! They usually come in a pack of 9 breasts.

Just a little tidbit on easy flavorful cooking.
