Juicy Oven-Baked Chicken Breasts
Juicy oven-baked chicken breasts can be tricky, but these chicken breasts come out extra juicy and the meat is really thin so you know they're going to be evenly baked.

Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
For the marinade
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 2 garlic cloves minced of finely grated
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the chicken
- 4 pieces of chicken breasts
Instructions
For the marinade
- Mix all the ingredients in a bowl using a small whisk.
For the chicken
- Cover the chicken with baking paper and pound them using a rolling pin. We're aiming to decrease the thickness of the thickest side of the breasts.
- Cover the breasts thoroughly with the marinade, on the top and bottom. Let marinade for 1 hour.
- Lay the chicken breasts one next to the other on a baking dish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°F/400°F for 25-30 minutes or until the temperature at the centre of the breasts reaches 73°C/164°F. 25 minutes works well for average-sized breasts and 30 is perfect for thick and large breasts.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving with the juices from the dish.
