Roasted Chicken Breast

Crispy skin, juicy chicken, and a super simple seasoning make these roasted chicken breasts a favorite in our house. We cook one breast per person and usually end up with a bit of leftover meat that we chop up for later in the week.

Notes

We love our simple seasoning blend for roasting chicken, but any blend of spices will work well. Try adding cayenne for a little heat or use a premade spice blend, such as cayenne or Greek seasoning.

You can use olive oil in place of butter, if preferred.
