Roasted Chicken Breast

Charlotte J's Note:

I heard on the Food Network station that roasting left the chicken with more flavor then boiling or cooking in the crockpot. So I thought I'd try it but found no roasting recipes here. So this one came form Cook.com

Wow, this was just delicious! I tucked in javascript:setRating(5);some yukon gold potato wedges under the chicken breasts and then poured to butter over all. What a great meal and just perfect for the two of us.
Thanks! Carole in Orlanod

This is very good and easy. I do recommend checking the chicken with an instant read thermometer before an hour is up as I had two slightly different size pieces and one was about 8-10 degrees more done than the other after an hour (and should have been taken out about 10 minutes earlier, I think). I salted liberally and the skin got very crispy (don't know if those are related or not but it sure made the skin tasty!) I liked this method and will use it again, for sure. Thanks for sharing!

Good flavour and the skin crisped up nicely. Sometimes, simple is best! Thx Charlotte!
