       To make perfectly roasted chicken breasts, you will need boneless skin-on chicken breasts, butter, thyme, and salt. Chicken thighs would also be great for this recipe. First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Then,

melt the butter in a small dish. Next, take your chicken breasts and season them with salt and thyme. Rub the butter all over the chicken breasts. Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the chicken breasts are golden brown. Remove from oven and enjoy!

Ingredients

2 boneless skin-on chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each)

Salt and fresh ground black pepper

1 tablespoon neutral oil, like grape seed or canola

2 tablespoons butter

Handful fresh thyme sprigs

Half of a lemon, for serving

DIRECTIONS

1- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2-Pat the chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

3 - Carefully place chicken breasts into hot skillet skin side down. Cook without moving until skin is deep golden brown and crisp, about 6 minutes. Carefully flip the chicken then add the butter and thyme. When the butter has melted, spoon it over the chicken several times.

4 - Transfer skillet to the oven. Cook chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken breasts registers 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. Spoon the thyme butter over the chicken a couple times while it bakes. (If you are cooking bone-in chicken breasts, expect that they will take a bit longer, I’d expect somewhere between 25 and 35 minutes.)

5 - Remove skillet from oven and transfer chicken to a cutting board. Let it rest about 5 minutes before serving. Serve with butter from the pan spooned on top as well as a squeeze of lemon.
