Used 1 large breast butterflied, substituted terriyaki sauce for the soy sauce due to sodium, cooked at 400 for 35 minutes. Really good flavor but the chicken was cooked too long, I will try it again for less time.
Martin Pearson
We made this with chicken thighs. It was delicious!
John Walker
The flavor and simplicity of the recipe deserves a solid 5. However as so many others have mentioned the cook time for that temperature is too long. I went 30 minutes, then removed the foil and put the oven on broil for 10 minutes. The crust was perfect but I still had the inside temperature over 190. This is a FANTASTIC recipe once I get the cook time down. Thank you for sharing!!
Sarah Burns
simple and taste GREAT!!
Matthew Hill
This was moist and very good. As others said I marinated the chicken for about 3 hours and then cooked at 375 for about 35 minutes. Delish.
Robert Johnson
Tastewise it was pretty great. Cooking time was a bit off but i was fine.
Paula Morris
Delicious! I only gave 4 stars as opposed to 5 because had I let it cook an hour would’ve dried out. 25 minutes was plenty.
David Rivera
Best chicken. I did use teriyaki sauce instead of soy sauce and I used minced garlic. Delicious
James Murphy
I have to say this recipe sounded so good, so I made it tonight for dinner. My granddaughter questioned the type of chicken I had made. I told just try it, she goes on to say oh my gosh Nonnie this is the best chicken dish you had ever made. That made my day. The dish was so simple and easy plus smelled so good in the oven. I’ll be making this again next week.

Great chicken recipe. I did make a few substitutes. I used terriyaki sauce instead of soy and used scallions instead of yellow onions. Turned out great. Family loved it and will make again.
Megan Reed
I made this exactly as the recipe says except I only baked it for 35 min. It was perfect! So juicy and tender!
Sarah Sweeney
This was good, and especially good to be low-cal. I made no changes to the ingredients. I did change the way I cooked them. I marinated the breasts in the sauce that is made.for about 30 minutes. Then I browned them for about 5 minutes per side in a skillet sprayed with cooking spray. Then I covered with aluminum foil and put them in the oven for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees. It was perfectly done by then, and still moist.

It was just ok. I’m confused how so many people raved about it. Probably won’t make it again. Sorry!
Jennifer Norman
Very good and easy. I used 4 thin sliced chicken breasts and put mushrooms on the bottom just to add a vegetable. I cooked on 350 for 30 minutes and next time and going to bake uncovered.

It turned out great if my picky husband sed I can make it again then you know it’s good.
Cheyenne Taylor
Absolutely wonderful, I used Stevia as the sweetener and this was delish…. I highly recommend!
Aaron Sanchez
I had my doubts this would be anything special because it seemed so simple. It was delicious. Even my picky teenager liked it. Thanks to others: cooked 425 for 35 minutes.

Low Cal Chicken Haiku: “Marinated mine, and did on grill, not oven. It was fairly good.” I can only imagine how one hour at 425 would obliterate a chicken breast, so I put all of the ingredients (made poultry seasoning from an AR recipe) in a large ziploc w/ the chicken for bout 4 hrs., then tossed the chicken on the grill. Ended up tasting mostly like soy sauce which wasn’t entirely surprising, but I can’t complain b/c it was indeed low calorie and moist; thanks for the recipe!

This recipe was SO good! After reading the reviews I wanted to try it, I didn’t even have poultry seasoning, but I improvised with thyme & Italian seasoning. All the previous reviews were correct though… I thawed my chicken first (frozen Tyson breasts) and baked @ 425 for 35 minutes, they were a little dry. Next time I will check at 25 minutes. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars!!!
Martin Adams
Made exactly as written, except reduced time to 35 minutes as other reviewers have stated. It was plenty of time; I used a meat thermometer to check. Very good flavor, smelled delicious cooking. Very moist. Will definitely make again.
Ricardo Jones MD
I’m always looking for good chicken recipes and was pleased to read that I could use frozen breasts. I baked them for an hour following another reviewer’s advice, but both my husband and I found them dry and stringy. Sorry, but this one won’t make it into my recipe box.
