Print Recipe

A simple, comforting weeknight classic with big flavors, this garlic butter baked chicken breast stays juicy and tender.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish with a light coating of butter or oil.
  2. Melt the butter in a small bowl and mix in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  3. Let the mixture sit for a minute so the garlic releases its aroma.
  4. Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish and pour the garlic butter mixture over them, basting to coat.
  5. Spoon sauce over the top once or twice during baking for extra flavor.
  6. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pound thicker breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Use a meat thermometer to confirm 165°F internal temperature.
