Recipe type: Summer
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Seasoning
- 3 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 3 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
Method:
- Preheat oven to 230 degrees Celsius.
- I prefer to slice the chicken breasts in half width ways, before adding the rub, but this is optional.
- Line a large tray or two smaller trays with baking paper. Place chicken pieces onto the tray/s.
- Using a pastry brush, coat the chicken breast pieces with the melted butter.
- Combine together the garlic powder, pepper and salt, then sprinkle onto the chicken.
- Place trays in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Turn over chicken pieces and bake again for another 10 minutes. If you have kept the chicken breasts in their full size, you may need to cook them for longer.
- You can use a thermometer to check if the chicken is cooked. Pieces of chicken are thoroughly cooked when they reach an internal temperature of 74°C.
- Remove from oven when they are cooked and then cover with a baking dish for 5-10 minutes.
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board and then cut against the grain to serve.
