Description

How to bake chicken breasts in the oven to keep the meat juicy? Everyone knows that chicken breasts are a lean protein, but they often turn out dry. I'll share the secrets of cooking juicy fillets that you can marinate quickly. A simple recipe for a tasty and aromatic dish

Instructions

To help the marinade work faster, we will assist it. Insert toothpicks into each chicken breast as shown in the photo.
In the water, add 2 tablespoons of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of thyme, and half a lemon cut into slices. This will be our marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade. The water should completely cover the meat. Leave it for 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix melted heavy cream with finely chopped garlic, ground black pepper, the remaining thyme, lemon juice, and salt.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, remove the toothpicks, and make sure to pat them dry with a paper towel on both sides. Place them on a tray.
Brush the chicken breasts with the garlic-butter sauce using a brush. Place them in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) for 30 minutes.
Juicy baked chicken breast is ready. It's very tasty and aromatic!
