Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make grilled chicken breasts in the oven? Prepare your food. Take large breasts; it is better if they are fresh, not frozen - such meat will turn out juicier. For the marinade, choose medium-spicy mustard; if yours is spicy, then reduce the amount. Take liquid honey or melt it in a water bath. Remove the butter in advance so that it becomes soft.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the chicken breasts well and then pat dry with paper towels. If you have frozen meat, defrost it first. Read about all the intricacies of proper defrosting in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe. Make transverse cuts with a sharp knife, without cutting the breasts all the way. The thick part is deeper, the thin part is smaller. Salt and pepper the meat, pour in lemon juice.

3. STEP 3

   

   Prepare the marinade glaze. To do this, place soft butter in a bowl. If it has not yet softened, then heat it for 20 seconds in the microwave, but no longer - the butter should become soft, but not melt. Pour soy sauce into the oil, add honey and mustard.

4. STEP 4

   

   Mix the marinade, it is better to use a whisk for this, as it is quite difficult to mix. My oil didn’t want to dissolve.

5. STEP 5

   

   Brush the breasts with the resulting marinade. It is convenient to do this with a pastry brush. Apply it first to the cuts, then on top of the breasts. Leave the chicken to stand for 15-20 minutes. And then sprinkle the pieces with breadcrumbs.

6. STEP 6

   

   Preheat the oven. If you have a grill in it, then turn on the convection grill mode at 200°C. If not, then set the maximum temperature. Cover the baking sheet with foil - it will protect it from the juice that will drain from the chicken. Take a wire rack, from the oven or any other. Place it on a baking sheet. Place the breasts, cut side up, on the grill.

7. STEP 7

   

   Bake the breasts for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. The exact time depends on your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.
