Ingredients
- 2 Lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
- 2-3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt/Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450ºF.
- Coat chicken breasts with olive oil, salt and pepper then transfer to a oiled roasting dish.
- *Roast for 25-30 minutes or until 165ºF internal temperature. (time will vary depending on thickness of chicken) Let cool then chop or shred chicken.
Notes
*If your chicken breasts vary in size you will need to gently pound them until they are all similar thickness. This will ensure even cooking times. If your chicken thickness is a half inch or less, begin checking temperature after 10-15 minutes as it may cook faster.
**All of my chicken salad recipes call for 1 Lb cooked chicken. So if meal prepping chicken salad you can double one chicken salad recipe or choose 2 different recipes with this amount of cooked chicken breast.
