Simply Delicious Baked Boneless Chicken Breast

Simply Delicious Baked Boneless Chicken Breast - Mama Harris' KitchenPicture this: It’s a busy night in the middle of the week. You’ve just picked up the kids from school, they are doing their homework and your spouse is running late after work. One (or more) of the kids has to be dropped off at football/baseball/soccer/wrestling/cheer/dance practice (take your pick) and there’s nothing much in the fridge to cook that takes 30 minutes or less. You just see that bag of chicken that you took out to defrost a few days ago that needs to be cooked, but you’re not sure what to make.

I can help!!

I used to hate eating boneless chicken breast, unless it was fried and dipped. Seriously. HATE.

Chicken breast, at least in my experience at various restaurants, has always been dry and sort of tasteless. Absolutely not something that I would crave or salivate at the thought of.

At least, that was my perception prior to trying my husbands boneless baked chicken breast.

Simply Delicious Baked Boneless Chicken Breast - Mama Harris' KitchenThese babies are good!! They are juicy and full of flavor, tender and tasty. So easy, just serve with some quick rice or noodles, an easy salad or some corn on the cob and you have a delicious meal in under 30 minutes!

This has always been our go-to meal when we don’t want to take much effort into our dinner preparations. It’s also great as a budget meal, since I can buy a 3 pound bag of boneless chicken breast for under $6. It’s a pantry staple and we usually have a few bags in the freezer. The entire family loves this chicken, and it’s even great for other meals. You can make this chicken and dice it up to throw in salads or wraps, or shred it for soups or chicken tacos. Dice it up for chicken casserole or chicken spaghetti.. it’s really that versatile!

My eldest son has been commuting to work for the past 6 months or so. He wakes up at 4:15 am every morning and leaves by 4:45 am to begin a 6 am shift. He’s doing what he loves at a great company, but he had been spending so much money every week on lunches, so he started meal prepping. The first thing he asked was about this chicken, and how to make it. So every Sunday he makes 5 chicken breasts and adds them to plastic containers he can take to work with some rice and vegetables. Some days he will add salsa or hot sauce, or switch it up and make it a salad or a wrap, but he loves how versatile this chicken is for those convenience meals, and so will you.

This is sure to help for those days when you just don’t know what’s for dinner, and I hope this is your go-to chicken recipe, just as it is ours!

Baked Boneless Chicken Breast Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds Boneless Chicken Breasts (this works out to be about 5 or 6 breasts)
  • 1 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce OR Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Chicken Rub (buy it premade, or a quick search on the web and you can make your own!)
  • 1.5 tablespoons Lemon Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Dry Parsley

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Use an old “seasoned” baking sheet (or cookie sheet) and place the thawed chicken directly on the sheet, with no foil. Be sure to cut the little extra bits of fat off the edges of the chicken, if necessary.

*Tip: You’ll want it to be an old baking sheet because once you use it for this recipe a few times, it can be hard to get the sauce out. I typically keep separate sheets for baking cookies than I do for meats like this.

Simply Delicious Baked Boneless Chicken Breast - Mama Harris' KitchenPour the soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce over each piece of chicken. I guess it’s about 1-2 tablespoons per piece of chicken, depending on size. My husbands instructions are, “Pour over the chicken until it’s brown.” This is why we use a low-sodium soy sauce and we don’t add additional sauce to the seasonings!

Simply Delicious Baked Boneless Chicken Breast - Mama Harris' KitchenAdd lemon pepper to each piece of chicken.

Simply Delicious Baked Boneless Chicken Breast - Mama Harris' KitchenThen sprinkle the chicken rub and the parsley over the tops.

Simply Delicious Baked Boneless Chicken Breast - Mama Harris' KitchenBake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, until cooked through.

Simply Delicious Baked Boneless Chicken Breast - Mama Harris' KitchenServe with simple sides, or cut up and add to a salad, a wrap, or anything else! You don’t even need a knife to cut this chicken.

Simply Delicious Baked Boneless Chicken Breast - Mama Harris' KitchenEnjoy!

    That’s great, very healthy too! Double dose of win on that one! Your son is wise, I need to eat more at home, and less outside, it really does add up! Hmm, I’m hungry now! Maybe I’ll defrost some chicken!

    This made me SO hungry! I love the seasoning options, I just think I’d layer the pan with foil first because that stuff sticking to the pan would bug me… Love you recipes!!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
