Baked Chili Lemon Butter Split Chicken Breasts

Chicken, General, Recipes
Embracing Motherhood Baked Chili Lemon Butter Split Chicken Breast

This is a quick, simple, go to meal that can be turned into a variety of things. Once you cook the chicken breasts, you can chop them up into cubes, and store in the refrigerator to use on salads. Or you can serve with some rice and green beans for a complete dinner.

I like getting pasture raised whole chickens when we can, but at $15 a chicken, it’s kind of pricy and sometimes I just buy packs of chicken breasts at the store. Getting the chicken breasts with the bone in makes for the most nutritious and delicious chicken.

Ingredients

  • 4 Split Chicken Breasts (bone in)
  • 1 Stick of Butter
  • 2 Lemons
  • Chili Powder
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Real Salt
  • Pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  2. Squeeze the lemon over the chicken breasts.

  3. Sprinkle both sides generously with all of the seasonings.
  4. Place 2 T. of butter on top of each chicken breast.

  5. Bake at 350º F for 1 hour.

  6. Pre-cut the breast while it’s still on the bone. I like doing this for the kids especially, but when the pieces are cut up like this, they can really soak up all of the juices, and besides, it’s easier for me to eat it that way!

  7. Let the cut up chicken breast soak in the juices. You can eat it right away at this point, pop it back in the oven on the lowest setting to stew a bit, or cover and put back in the fridge.

  8. Serve! This chicken makes an excellent topping for any salad, hot or cold. I also like serving it over a bed of white rice and beans. My favorite thing to do lately is to sprinkle everything with cayenne pepper. I like the spice!
