Baked Herbed Chicken Breasts

Submitted by cookncraft

"I got this recipe from one of my mom's church cookbooks. I always seem to find the best tasting recipe in church cookbooks! This recipe uses boneless chicken with a blend of spices to give it a wonderful taste. I usually make this with potatoes (prepared as fancy or simple as you like) and a vegetable. I also like to combine spices ahead of time. I've tried this by eliminating 1 or 2 spices when I was out and it still turns out wonderful."

Excellent and easy - I might add that my boneless, skinless chicken breasts only took about 30 minutes to cook. They were still juicy. I think 55 minutes might be a little too long, at least for our tastes. This is a great recipe for after a busy day at work.

Great flavor for the chicken! I only used 2 breasts so I cut the recipe down. I also just sprayed the chicken instead of using butter. Delicious!

Delicious! I sprinkled all of the spices on the chicken first, and then drizzled the melted butter over the top. I used 1/4 cup butter instead of the 1/2 cup, and it was just perfect. I covered with foil, and baked at 275 degree oven for about 2 hours. Turned out great! Thanks!

Thank you for a quick and delicious recipe. I made this using 4 chicken breasts. They were done in less than 30 minutes. This was easy enough for my 10 year old daughter to help make. Thanks!

This was very good and easy to make. My boys really liked it. I was worried about the spices, but they worked out great. I only used 4 chicken breasts and cut the butter and spices in half. I put all of the spice on the chicken in the beginning. It turned out perfect. This will be added to our favorites.
