the most moist chicken breasts i've ever roasted! i had to tweak the times and temperature a bit (400*, for 15-20 minutes) as i was working with tenders rather than halves .. but it turned out delciously! instead of seasoning the 'naked' chicken with season salt, i used a pinch of garlic salt and a twist of freshly ground black pepper. served with garlic parmesan rice. would be lovely with a green vegetable side, as well! thank you!

<p>Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet. <br />I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat. <br />Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.</p>
