Oven baked bone in chicken breasts are simple to make and deliver that classic, tasty oven roasted chicken flavor that everyone loves.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter

    softened

  • 2 large split bone-in chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the softened butter all over the chicken skin. In a small bowl mix together the seasoning, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Sprinkle the chicken with the seasoning and rub all over making sure to get some butter and seasoning under the skin.

  2. 2

    Place chicken in a roasting pan with skin side up. Pour the broth around the chicken so it coats the bottom of the pan.

  3. 3

    Bake chicken in the oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Juices will run clear. For extra browning of the skin, turn on the broiler and broil for 2 to 3 minutes or until skin is crispy and golden brown.

  4. 4

    Remove chicken from the pan and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with pan juices if desired.

The Best Baked Chicken Breasts

The Best Baked Chicken Breasts

The downfall of most baked chicken breast recipes is the long time in the oven that dries out the lean meat before it can fully cook through. We've solved that problem with a couple of secret weapons. The first is white wine added to the baking dish, which creates steam. (While we think it’s worth using wine, you could substitute stock or even water.) The second is a piece of parchment paper placed directly on top of the chicken to lock in the moisture during baking. The result is the best boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are plump and juicy, with a minimum of hands-on time. A bunch of parsley and lemon slices infuse the dish with fresh flavor and the seasoning is neutral enough that the chicken can be used for a variety of different meals. Serve it alongside vegetables and grains, shredded into soup, spiced up for tacos or chopped on top of salad. Feel free to switch up the herbs and citrus if you have leftovers in the fridge to use up.

About this Recipe

Craving the comforting, savory taste of perfectly roasted chicken without all the fuss? These Oven Baked Bone In Chicken Breasts deliver that beloved classic flavor with remarkable ease, transforming simple ingredients into a truly satisfying meal.

This recipe embraces the inherent advantages of bone-in chicken, which naturally retains more moisture during cooking, ensuring a tender, juicy result every time. The blend of classic Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper creates a universally appealing flavor profile that's both robust and familiar. Adding chicken broth to the baking process also contributes to a more succulent outcome and adds depth to any pan drippings.

Prepare for a truly satisfying meal featuring incredibly juicy and tender chicken with a beautifully savory, herb-infused flavor. The bone-in nature helps lock in moisture, promising a rich and succulent bite that’s full of classic roasted chicken essence. This straightforward approach to oven roasting means you can achieve impressive results with minimal effort, making it perfect for weeknight dinners or relaxed weekend meals. You'll love how the simple seasonings infuse every bite, creating a comforting experience that feels both homey and special.

Feel free to customize the flavors to your liking; consider swapping Italian seasoning for a blend of dried rosemary and thyme, or a dash of smoked paprika for a different twist. For a dairy-free option, a good quality olive oil can be used in place of butter. You can also add a sprinkle of onion powder alongside the garlic powder for an extra layer of savory depth.

This comforting dish is ideal for a satisfying family dinner any night of the week. Serve these beautifully baked chicken breasts with your favorite roasted vegetables, creamy mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete and wholesome meal.
