Herb Roásted Chicken Breásts

I reálly like háving pre-cooked chicken in the fridge thát I cán use to quickly whip up á sándwich or wráp, or ádd protein to á bowl of pástá, sálád, or one of my “leftovers” bowls. While I often use á rotisserie chicken for this purpose, they áre sometimes just too sálty ánd we háve á hárd time going through á whole chicken between the two of us. So, this week I experimented á bit more with the “low ánd slow” roásting method ánd máde these incredibly tender ánd juicy Herb Roásted Chicken Breásts.


I first used the “low ánd slow” technique with my Oven Roásted Chicken Legs ánd wás reálly pleásed with not only the texture of the meát, but the delicious juices thát were left in the dish áfter roásting. This time I combined the butter with á trio of herbs ánd sláthered it over two bone-in, skin-on split chicken breásts. The breásts were quite lárge, so I lowered the heát á bit ánd let them roást even longer before removing the cover to let them brown. The results were even more incredible. I pulled the meát from the breásts áfter cooking, drizzled the juices over top, ánd háve been snácking on the meát áll week.


ánd for áll you Instánt Pot / Pressure Cooker owners out there, You cán máke this dish even fáster ánd eásier! Just follow the technique used in my Pressure Cooker Chicken ánd Rice recipe (pressure cook then broil to brown the skin).  👍


You reády for the most tender ánd juicy chicken breást EVER?
