Prepare Chicken: Begin by using as many chicken breasts as needed for your dinner. This recipe offers versatility to adapt to your serving requirements.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to create the perfect cooking environment for these succulent poached chicken breasts.
-
De-skin and De-bone: Take your chicken breasts and skillfully remove the skin and bones. Cut them into two parts, ensuring they fit perfectly into your baking dish.
-
Lemon Infusion: Sprinkle the chicken breasts generously with fresh lemon juice, infusing them with a zesty and refreshing flavor profile.
-
Buttery Magic: Dot the chicken breasts with butter, adding a rich and indulgent touch that will elevate the dish to new heights.
-
Season with Love: Sprinkle a pinch of salt to taste, ensuring every bite is perfectly seasoned and bursting with delightful flavors.
-
Cover and Bake: Closely cover the baking dish and let the magic happen in the oven for approximately 15 minutes. The poaching process will lock in moisture, keeping the chicken tender and juicy.
-
Check for Perfection: Avoid overcooking by checking the thickest part of the chicken with a fork. The goal is perfection – moist, succulent, and cooked to perfection. If your chicken is cold, be mindful that the outside may cook slightly faster than the inside.
-
Serving Elegance: Once done, use the pan juices as a sauce, enhancing the dish with the essence of the cooking process.
