A delicious dish to add to your dinner repertoire, oven-fried chicken breasts are a cinch to make once you know a few tricks to add flavor to the lean meat and get a perfectly crispy, browned coating on the outside. And unlike other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/fried-chicken-recipes-you-ll-actually-make-at-home\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/fried-chicken-recipes-you-ll-actually-make-at-home\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">fried chicken recipes<\/a> that require a deep fryer, this baked chicken recipe results in less mess in the kitchen.<\/p>\n<h2>Oven-Fried Chicken Breast Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1911364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Oven-Fried-Chicken-Breast-Nancy-Mock-for-Taste-of-Home-Oven-Fried-Chicken-Breast.TOH_.Nancy-Mock-1_KSedit.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Ingredients for Oven Fried Chicken Breast on a cloth on blue surface\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Nancy Mock for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Butter and canola oil:<\/strong> Melted butter and canola oil are mixed together and spread on the bottom of the baking pan to crisp up the bread crumb coating as it bakes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken:<\/strong> Our favorite cut for oven-fried chicken is boneless, skinless chicken breast. We slice the breasts into thin cutlets to give them a uniform thickness that bakes more evenly in the oven. Plus, the cutlets cook through in no time and boast a generous ratio of crispy coating to meat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasonings:<\/strong> Fried chicken recipes can quickly turn bland without seasonings to enliven the beige ingredients. That\u2019s why our seasoning blend consists of peppery turmeric, pungent onion powder and smoky paprika.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:<\/strong> Flour is a crucial ingredient for breaded, oven-fried chicken. As the first ingredient to coat the raw chicken, the flour absorbs excess moisture on the exterior of the meat and preps the surface for the liquid coating step that comes next.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornstarch:<\/strong> Cornstarch is a secret ingredient in deep-fried recipes because it creates an ultra-crispy coating. The cornstarch will absorb moisture and prevent gluten from developing in the all-purpose flour, so the chicken stays juicy and the exterior becomes deeply golden-brown as it bakes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buttermilk and egg:<\/strong> Thick and tangy buttermilk is a favorite for marinating bone-in chicken pieces in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/picnic-fried-chicken\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/picnic-fried-chicken\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">buttermilk fried chicken<\/a>. In this recipe, it\u2019s combined with egg to become a flavorful part of the breading.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Panko bread crumbs:<\/strong> For the best texture on oven-fried chicken, use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-panko\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-panko\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">panko<\/a> bread crumbs.

After baking, allow the chicken to cool to room temperature. Stack the breaded cutlets between pieces of wax paper (or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/butter-wrapper\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/butter-wrapper\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">butter wrappers<\/a>) and store them in an airtight container. Keep them in the fridge for up to four days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze oven-fried chicken breasts?<\/h3>\n<p>For longer storage, you can freeze oven-fried chicken for up to three months. Let the chicken cool completely. Wrap each piece in a layer of storage wrap and place it in a freezer-safe container. When you&#8217;re ready to enjoy the chicken, thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat oven-fried chicken breasts?<\/h3>\n<p>To reheat oven-fried chicken, place the chicken on a baking sheet coated with melted butter or nonstick cooking spray. Bake the cutlets at 400\u00b0 for about 10 minutes, flipping about halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 165\u00b0.<\/p>\n<p>You can also reheat the chicken in an air fryer.

Flip the chicken over and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes or until an internal thermometer reads 165\u00b0 and the breading is crispy and browned. Rest for five minutes, then slice and serve. Editor's Tip: No one likes it when the breading falls off chicken, so make sure to rest the chicken before slicing. This makes it easier to move the chicken without disturbing the coating.","image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Oven-Fried-Chicken-Breast_FT24_277929_EC_1002_3.jpg?fit=700,1024"}],"recipeYield":"6 chicken breasts","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nancy Mock"}],"nutrition":{"@type":"NutritionInformation","calories":" 364 calories","fatContent":"11g fat (4g saturated fat)","cholesterolContent":"126mg cholesterol","sodiumContent":"408mg sodium","carbohydrateContent":"26g carbohydrate (2g sugars","fiberContent":"1g fiber)","proteinContent":"36g protein."},"aggregateRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":0,"reviewCount":0,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"277929","romance_copy_dek":"This oven-fried chicken breast is just as crispy and flavorful as deep-fried chicken.
