Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 bone-in chicken breast halves with skin
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler. Rub olive oil over each chicken breast, then season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place the chicken skin-side down on a broiling pan.
- Broil in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken breast skin-side up. Continue broiling until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- If desired, add 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the broiling pan and stir to dissolve the browned bits from chicken juices. Use as a light sauce on the chicken.

Easy and elegant. I happen yo be one of those rare creatures who think that chicken tastes great without being marinated, coated, dusted and otherwise tortured to serve as a vehicle for spices and rubs. This recipe lets the chicken stand alone. I did have to adjust the timing a bit. My oven runs a bit hot. Using an instant read thermometer helps.
This recipe is simple to make and ridiculously good. The only thing I did differently is, I did it in my air fryer.
Not sure how this could be so simple and still so good but it was. Family loved it, will be cooking chicken this way from now on. I used quite big boneless skinless breasts and broiled for about 14 minutes, they were done perfectly, tender and juicy.
I did make the recipe and it was so easy and I did make a change I marinated in honey teriyaki marinade my husband said it was the best chicken he’s ever had.
I made this for my daughter and I and it was absolutely fabulous. She is mostly a vegetarian so is very picky about what meat dishes she will eat. I used organic chicken breasts. It was so simple and so tasty.
cut the salt because, you know.. heart health. but SUPER useful. Thank YOU.
I made it plain to use for a chicken sandwich. Turned out great. You’ll want to lower the cooking time if you’re using thin sliced chicken breasts
This was a great, easy to use recipe. I added lemon garlic seasoning for added flavor.
I added some thyme, rosemary, parsley, & garlic. Nice & Simple Recipe 🙂
I forgot to flip it and burnt it a little, internal temp was only 150. Flipped and cooked for another 10 minutes. Was a little dry but I think that’s my fault. The pan drippings made a nice dipping sauce though. I will try again.
I made this with no changes and it was absolutely delicious. And so quick and easy! A definite repeat recipe in our home!
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Many nights I don’t get home from work until almost 6pm, so I’m always looking for fast meals to cook. I loved the simplicity of this and the fact that it was done in 20 minutes. The flavor was good and I loved the crisp skin. This was so much nicer than waiting an hour for chicken. The only issue I found with having it in the broiler, is that the chicken gives off a lot of grease, so you have to be very careful when you pull it out to do so perfectly level so you don’t spill the grease on your hands.
So simple and yet so delicious! Moist, flavorful….. delish!
The chicken was juicy and delicious. Amazed such a simple recipe made chicken this good. I used bonelessskinless breasts. Cannot wait to make this again!
Simple and quick recipe for a juicy baked chicken breast. We used boneless skinless, still came out very moist and with lots of chicken flavor.
YUM! So easy, quick and delicious.
This is a simple tasty dish.
Delicious chicken. I loved it exactly as the recipe called for. My hubby had sauce with his but he has sauce with everything. The skin was crispy and the chicken was moist and juicy. Will definitely be making this recipe again.
Great recipe! Meat came out very juicy and tender, I didn’t expect it will taste that good! The only adjustment I made is lowered amount of salt to 1 teaspoon.
Love it. It’s simple, healthy (just don’t eat the skin), and delicious. I paired it with Asian Cashew veg salad. It was awesome. thank you for this recipe.
Was unable to bar b que some chicken breast that I had a rub on for a day or so. I had never broiled before…ever! Pre-heated, rubbed with olive oil, and followed directions. Added 1 add’l flip and 3 minutes since my pieces were very large. Turned out perfect!!
