Oven-Baked Chicken Breasts with Creole Seasoning

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Oven-Baked Chicken Breasts with Creole Seasoning.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a bowl and give your chicken breasts a lovely massage with some olive oil.

3. Step 3

   This not only adds flavor but also helps the seasonings stick.

4. Step 4

   Next, sprinkle coarse sea salt and Creole seasoning generously on both sides of the chicken, adjusting to your taste preferences.

5. Step 5

   Now, place those beautifully seasoned chicken breasts in a broiler pan, ready for their oven adventure.

6. Step 6

   Slide the pan into the preheated oven and let the chicken bake for about 10 minutes.

7. Step 7

   After that, it’s time to flip the chicken over and continue baking until it’s perfectly cooked through—this should take another 15 minutes or so.

8. Step 8

   You’ll know it’s done when the center is no longer pink and the juices run clear, with an instant-read thermometer showing at least 165°F (74°C).

9. Step 9

   Once your chicken is cooked to perfection, carefully transfer it to a plate and let it rest for a moment.

10. Step 10

    Now, let’s make a delicious pan sauce! Pour some chicken broth into the pan, and with a flat-edged wooden spatula, gently scrape up any tasty browned bits stuck to the bottom.

11. Step 11

    If needed, add a little more broth to loosen those bits, but be careful not to add too much—nobody wants a watery sauce! Finally, drizzle that rich, flavorful pan sauce over your chicken before serving.

12. Step 12

    Enjoy your meal, and savor the delightful flavors you’ve created!.
