The secret to juicy baked chicken breast? Bake for a short time at a high temperature. Baking for 30 minutes at 350 degrees will yield dry meat. But baking for just 20 minutes at 450 degrees will result in delightfully juicy baked chicken breast, every time.
Place the chicken, breast side up, in a roasting pan. Rub salt and pepper on the outside of the chicken. Place the chicken in a preheated, 350 degree Fahrenheit oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes per pound of chicken. For example, bake a 4 lb. chicken for an hour and a half. Insert a meat thermometer into the fattest part of the chicken thigh, taking care not to touch the bone.
