Oven Roasted Chicken Breasts

Use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and place them a sheet pan lined with tin foil (just for easier cleaning). Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, both sides.  Roast for 35 to 45 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked. When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin.

If you only have boneless, skinless chicken breasts, treat them the same with oil, salt and pepper, cover them in bacon and cook 30-40 minutes.  Don't discard the bacon, though!  Let everyone have a tasty snack or incorporate the bacon into your dish somehow!  Kristen would say you'd have to put the bacon back in the oven to crisp up a bit more for her to enjoy the snack though.  :)
