Roasted Bone In Chicken Breast Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees (F).
• Heat a dry pan on the stove. (NO OIL!).
• Loosen the skin from the meat to create a small pocket.
• Slip the butter under the skin.
• Rub the chicken with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
• When the pan is hot, place the breast skin side down. Do not touch or move the breast for about three minutes, or until the skin has a nice golden brown crust.
• Place the breast on a baking sheet and put it into the oven for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, check with a meat thermometer (160F), poke it with a fork to see if juices run clear, or leave your fork in for 30 seconds and test it on your hand to see if it's hot. If it fulfills any of the 3 above, take it out, let it sit for 5-10 minutes so the juices won't run out when you cut it.
• optional--use wine to deglaze the pan you used on the stove to make sauce! just pour in wine till the bottom is covered, cook on medium until you can drag a spoon through it and see the bottom for a couple seconds. add salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken in the melted butter, skin-side down; cook chicken skin in hot butter until beginning to brown and crisped, about 5 minutes.
• Flip chicken breasts. Arrange potatoes, carrots, and celery around the chicken.
• Chop rosemary and lemon thyme together; sprinkle over the chicken and vegetables. Season everything with paprika, garlic powder, seasoned salt, white pepper, salt and black pepper.
• Place a lid on the skillet and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part, without touching the bone, reads 165 degrees, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Transfer to a cutting board and rest, covered with foil, for 15 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• In the baking dish you are going to use, prepare the sauce/marinade by combining all of the ingredients.
• NOTE: you can also use a good poultry seasoning that isn't completely ground in place of the rosemary, sage and marjoram since these are usually in this mix. If you use a poultry seasoning, use 1& 1/2 teaspoons.
• Poke the chicken breasts several times to allow the seasoning to enter the meat through the skin.
• Put the chicken breasts in sauce, and turn several times to coat thoroughly.
• Place skin side down (breast down) in a shallow baking dish and cover with foil.
• Bake the breasts for 15 minutes, and baste the chicken regularly during this time the pan drippings.
• Remove the foil, flip to breast/skin side up. Continue baking another 20 - 30 minutes OR until the chicken juices run clear. This will help crisp up the skin.
• Serve the chicken some of the pan juices as a sauce.
