Baking Chicken Breasts

[*Bunny*]

This thread is really making me appreciate my wife! I'm not sure where the oven even is..............

al

How big are the breasts & are they still frozen when you put them in the oven?? If they are still frozen or partially frozen or very thick, then yes they can take a while to cook.....If they are very big - cut them in half or into strips....

Just put them in a glass baking dish or on a pan lined with foil and bake for about 30-45 mins at 350 degrees F.

Thanks for the tip Jens

*SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

BASICALLY..........IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TEMP YOU BAKE THEM AT!!!!!

The *time* will be the factor in doneness....so 400 degrees F will cook them "faster" then 325 degrees F........

And the pan DOESN'T MATTER as long as it doesn't *explode* on you in the oven!! So! If it's *ovenproof* - ie Pyrex, hard foil/disposable, et al - if it gets the job done it doesn't matter!!!

Cooking is about feel & touch & experimentation. Cook the things at X time & X temp & see if if works for YOU......

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.

The local butecher shop sells pre-marinated boneless chicken breasts in a dozen flavors for $1.69 lb right now. I've been eating a lot of chicken lately....

Wow that's cheap!! Trader Joe's sells them for $6-something a pound......

I like the pre-marinated pork roasts too......
