As I've mentioned before, I like to buy larger quantities of boneless skinless chicken breast when it is on sale and I freeze it in small portions for easy thawing. Sometimes, I am in a bind and need to find a quick recipe to whip up that is filling and low on calories. This is where 20 minute baked chicken comes in!
Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thawed and cut into one inch pieces
garlic powder
black pepper
onion powder
1/2 cup chicken broth (I used reduced sodium Swanson broth)
Optional: Salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a small baking dish. I used a 9 inch round pie dish. Sprinkle the above seasonings on the chicken. Some people may prefer to add salt, but we avoid it for health reasons. Slowly pour the chicken broth into the dish around the chicken. Try to avoid pouring directly onto the chicken or the seasonings will wash off. Place your dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Check the largest piece to see if it is cooked. You can either use a meat thermometer (165 degrees minimum) or just check to make sure that the juices run clear and there is no pink in the center. That's it! This pairs up well with practically any sides you have on hand. Check back soon for a recipe for the butternut squash in the photo!
