This is by no means the only seasoning route you can go. Craving Tex-Mex? Try 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. The flavor combinations are endless. Just remember that in the world of spices, a little bit goes a long way.
Placing chicken breasts over a bed of lemon slices is an easy and affordable way to infuse a ton of fresh flavor. Limes and oranges work well too!
Regardless of how hangry you are, let the baked chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Cut too early, and you might end up a dry and bland chicken breast atop a messy pool of juices.
