Easy Boneless Chicken Breast Recipes

A collection of easy and versatile boneless chicken breast recipes perfect for weeknight dinners and meal prep.

Ingredients

  • Boneless Chicken Breasts: 4 pieces (about 1.5 pounds)
  • Olive Oil: ¼ cup
  • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
  • Lemon Juice: 2 tablespoons
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon
  • Pepper: ½ teaspoon
  • Herbs: 1 tablespoon of dried herbs (like oregano, thyme, or rosemary)
  • Honey or Maple Syrup: 1 tablespoon (optional)
  • Chili Flakes: ½ teaspoon (optional)
  • Vegetables: Bell peppers, zucchini, or asparagus (optional)
  • Cheese: Feta or mozzarella (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by combining olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and herbs in a bowl. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Choose a cooking method: grill, bake, or sauté the marinated chicken.
  3. For grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. For baking, preheat the oven to 400°F, place the chicken in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  5. For sautéing, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to retain its juices.

Notes

  • Marinate for a few hours or overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F.
  • Let the chicken rest after cooking for juicier results.
  • Experiment with different marinades and cooking methods for variety.
