Equipment

1 Reynolds Oven Bag
1 roasting pan
1 oven thermometer

Ingredients

Chicken breasts boneless, skinless – 4
1 large size Reynolds Oven Bag
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Dried thyme
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Ground black pepper
2 tbsp Lemon juice
1/2 cup Chicken broth

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub each breast with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Prepare the oven bag: Place the Reynolds Oven Bag in a large roasting pan or baking dish. Add the chicken breasts to the bag in a single layer.
Add liquids: Pour lemon juice and chicken broth over the chicken breasts inside the bag to infuse flavor.
Seal the bag: Tie the bag securely with the provided tie, leaving enough room for the bag to expand. Cut small slits in the top of the bag to allow steam to escape.
Bake the chicken: Place the roasting pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Rest and serve: Carefully cut open the bag (be cautious of the steam!) and transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
