Season liberally with salt and pepper. That is it! You are ready to throw put the chicken in the oven! Set your timer initially for 30 minutes.

Whenever I make this recipe, I start with a timer of 30 minutes and then check the internal temperature of the chicken using an instant read thermometer.
I highly recommend investing in an instant read thermometer to cook chicken correctly. After 30 minutes, see what temperature your chicken has reached. If you still need to cook the chicken longer, set your timer for another minutes and check the temperature again. For this recipe I had pretty thick chicken breasts, these took about 45 minutes to cook all the way through. You can keep cooked chicken in the refrigerator in an air tight container for days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
