Ingredients
  • 4
    chicken breasts,
    boneless, skinless
  • 1
    teaspoon
    Creole seasoning
  • 1
    tablespoon
    butter
  • salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter in a baking pan and let it melt slightly to coat the bottom.
  2. Arrange the chicken breasts in the pan, season both sides with salt and pepper, then sprinkle Creole seasoning evenly over both sides.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. Cooking time may vary depending on breast thickness—use a thermometer for best results.
  4. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain juices and keeps the meat tender.
  5. Serve with your choice of sides—roasted vegetables, a green salad, or rice make excellent complements.
