Easy Baked Chicken
You need about 4 ounces of chicken breast (remove the skin), ¼ teaspoon of thyme, ¼ teaspoon of oregano, ¼ teaspoon of rosemary, freshly-ground black pepper, salt and a tablespoon of olive oil.
Line the over toaster pan with aluminum foil. Place equal amounts of spices on both sides of the chicken breast. Place chicken on the aluminum foil-lined pan and pour olive oil over the chicken.
Bake placing the toaster oven on “bake” setting for about 35 minutes in 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Baked Chicken Recipe 2
This is another variation of baked chicken but to make chicken more flavorful, the meat is marinated beforehand.
You need a piece of chicken breast or a whole chicken thigh marinated for about four hours in buttermilk or soy sauce, garlic, pepper and bay leaves.
Preheat your toaster oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or use the “bake” setting on the oven. You may coat the chicken with corn meal, salt and pepper, paprika and garlic or you may use breadcrumbs seasoned with spices.
Place aluminum foil over the toaster oven tray and then spray oil or drizzle olive oil. Place the coated or non-coated chicken on the tray, drizzle more oil over the chicken to avoid drying the meat. Bake for about 45 minutes until the meat is done.
