You could saute it in olive oil 5 mins on each side. You don't need to brine or marinate a breast, it's dry cause your cooking it too long.
Even 20 minutes is too long.
I do sear on high for 1 min, then 425 for 18 minutes and that's still dry IMO.
I feel like 425 at 16 minutes is optimum. If you gone sear, 15 minutes.
Yea that method is straight up just oven baked w/o searing…it’s the lazy meal prep version
ExactlyBrine, baby, brine.
My kids used get mad when I would tell them they gotta wait until tomorrow for chicken because I didn’t brine it. Once they tasted the difference they don’t complain anymore.![]()
Internal temperature for chicken should be 165 to be done. If you're baking it for 45 minutes you're probably up around 200, if not more. Marinade or brine it beforehand, and get a thermometer if you insist on baking it
U gotta make adjustments for weight/temp/and quantity but 45 minutes even at 350 is waaaaaay too long even for a full baking sheet breh.Even tried marinating it beforehand and my shyt was still dryanybody have any tips?
Tried baking it in the oven for 45 mins or so, also tried cooking it in a pan and either way it ends up pretty dry. Anybody have any pointers on how to safely cook chicken breast without it being tough/dry?
) at the 20-25 minute mark. 170-180 F tops ur chicken is safe. Anything more and yeah that bird only gone get dryer

Chicken fluffy like my ears mate with this jawn.
pro tip. This oil is great for cleaning your paraphernalia (grinders, pipes etc etc) and it leaves it minty fresh. Just warm water and shake it.
Gunk falls right out.
but It becomes Godly with Prep-time.Should I be?You don't worry about toxins from plastic?

He said he was concerned about salmonella, and already can't properly bake a chicken breast, so I was trying to keep it simple. I remove mine around 160-162 and foil wrap it.165 isn't needed from what I've read. 165 is the point of bacteria instantly dying, which is why the FDA backs it.
Really you can take chicken off at 155 and let it rest.
