Easy Oven Baked Chicken (8 Servings)

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup of olive oil
  • ¼ cup of balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire
  • ¼ cup of honey
  • 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard or any kind
  • 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon of onion powder
  • 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and smashed
  • ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 to 7 pieces)

Instructions

  1. Combine the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, honey, dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, pepper, and onion powder in a mixing bowl. Garlic cloves should also be added at this point.
  2. Arrange a big gallon bag and put in the chicken. To get the chicken breasts into a uniform thickness, pound them with a rolling pin. Refrigerate the chicken for a minimum of 4 hours (overnight at most) after pouring the marinade over it.
  3. Allow your oven to preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chicken from the fridge and set it in a baking pan (you should have already coated this pan with nonstick cooking spray). Allow the chicken to reach room temperature while preheating the oven). You can discard the marinade at this point.
  4. In the preheated oven, leave the marinated chicken to bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or till a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the breast reads 165°F. Keep in mind that the ideal cooking time will be determined by the thickness of the chicken.
  5. Preheat the grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, if you prefer to grill your marinated chicken breasts. Apply non-stick grill spray to the grill. Grill each chicken breast for 5 minutes on each side (make sure to keep the grill open during the process), then close the grill’s lid and cook until the chicken reaches 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer, Keep an eye on the chicken breasts while they cook to ensure that they don’t get too hot or flare-up.
  6. Allow a minimum of 10 minutes for the chicken to rest before slicing and serving as you please.
