ROAST BONELESS CHICKEN BREAST RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees (F).
• Heat a dry pan on the stove. (NO OIL!).
• Loosen the skin from the meat to create a small pocket.
• Slip the butter under the skin.
• Rub the chicken with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
• When the pan is hot, place the breast skin side down. Do not touch or move the breast for about three minutes, or until the skin has a nice golden brown crust.
• Place the breast on a baking sheet and put it into the oven for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, check with a meat thermometer (160F), poke it with a fork to see if juices run clear, or leave your fork in for 30 seconds and test it on your hand to see if it's hot. If it fulfills any of the 3 above, take it out, let it sit for 5-10 minutes so the juices won't run out when you cut it.
• optional--use wine to deglaze the pan you used on the stove to make sauce! just pour in wine till the bottom is covered, cook on medium until you can drag a spoon through it and see the bottom for a couple seconds. add salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Place a large rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
• Combine mustard, thyme, 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl; spread the mixture evenly on chicken.
• Toss sweet potatoes and onion in a bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread the vegetables on it. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables.
• Return the pan to the oven and roast, stirring the vegetables once halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into a chicken thigh registers 165 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes.
