Oven Baked Chicken

Crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of rich, buttery flavor — this Oven-Baked Chicken is pure comfort food perfection. A light coating of seasoned flour gives each piece a golden crust, while the milk and lemon juice keep the meat juicy and flavorful. Simple, satisfying, and beautifully balanced, it’s an easy weeknight favorite that pairs wonderfully with buttery pierogies or creamy garlic pasta shells.

Ingredients

4 boneless chicken breasts, trimmed, split from end to end, and quartered

1 cup flour

1 tablespoon of seasoned salt

3/4 teaspoon pepper

2 teaspoons paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup of milk

2 tablespoons of lemon juice

5 tablespoons of butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Slice up butter on a large cookie sheet and put it in the oven to melt. Meanwhile, mix milk and lemon juice, and soak sliced chicken in it.

2. Mix flour, salt, seasoned salt, pepper, and paprika in a large bowl.

3. Pull the cookie sheet with melted butter on it out of the oven and set it on the stovetop or someplace heat-safe.

4. Pull chicken out of milk, piece by piece, and coat evenly with the seasoning mixture, and place it on the cookie sheet.

5. Return the buttered cookie sheet to the oven and bake the chicken for a few minutes on each side until cooked through. The thinner your chicken slices, the quicker they will cook!

6. Enjoy
