Instructions
Creating Morton’s Chicken Breast is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispier texture.
3. Season Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
4. Heat Oil: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
5. Sear Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Transfer to Oven: Once browned, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest Chicken: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. This helps keep it juicy.
8. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken breasts and serve them warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
By following these simple steps, you will create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying.
