- Bake for 30-40 minutes until chicken is cooked through until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

Notes
Notes:
- You can also add beans or frozen vegetables for a more balanced meal.
- Don’t overcook the chicken. An overcooked chicken will be tough and harder to eat.
- Try to use chicken breasts that are similar in size so that they cook more evenly. You can also pound them with a meat pounder (rolling pins or a wine bottle works too!) Pounding the chicken will also make it more tender.
- The cook time depends on your oven and the size of your chicken breasts so make sure you keep an eye on it.
