Baked Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts
In less than 30 minutes, you can have tender, juicy, flavorful sliced chicken breasts that are ready to pair with a simple side or pasta dish. They're so good!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large, thick chicken breasts
- 1½ tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup sherry cooking wine
- ½ cup chicken broth
- Trader Joe's Onion Salt seasoning (see notes for homemade recipe)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Lay them flat on a hard surface or cutting board and slice them horizontally, creating two equally thick, symmetrical chicken breast halves.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or dutch oven on medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle one side of each of the chicken breasts with the Onion Salt seasoning and place seasoning side down in the skillet. Let cook, without moving, for about two minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle the sides facing up with seasoning and flip when ready, cooking for another two minutes.
- Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to sear these in two batches. Simply remove the first batch and place on a large plate while the second batch cooks.
- When both sides of each of the chicken breasts are browned, return all to the skillet, if batch searing. Carefully pour in the wine, letting it cook for about 30 seconds.
- Remove the skillet from the burner and add the chicken broth. Cover and place into the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165˚F in the thickest part of the meat.
- Let the chicken breasts sit in the skillet and cool slightly, then slice thinly and serve.
Notes
- If you are unable to find Trader Joe's Onion Salt seasoning mix, you can make your own by combining 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp dried chives, 1 tbsp dried minced garlic, and 1 tbsp dried minced onion.
- If using chicken breasts less than ~1 inch thick, consider leaving as is and omitting the step of slicing them in half. If they are cut too thin, they may dry out more easily. Adjust oven cooking time as needed for varying thickness.
- If substituting boneless chicken thighs in this recipe, adjust oven cooking time as needed. Make sure to cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165˚F.
