Recipe Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. Transfer the skillet or baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  8. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
