Melt In Your Mouth Chicken

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

1. Pour a small amount of chicken broth into the skillet (about ½ cup).
2. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
3. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
4. Remove from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 5: Optional Creamy Sauce

1. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
2. Add remaining chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
3. For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water and stir in.
4. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Pour over the chicken before serving.

Step 6: Serve

• Slice the chicken against the grain for maximum tenderness.
• Garnish with fresh parsley.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Tips for the Ultimate Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chicken

• Marinate longer: Overnight marination gives the best tenderness and flavor.
• Don’t overbake: Overcooking makes chicken dry. Use a meat thermometer.
• Rest the meat: Allowing the chicken to rest keeps the juices locked in.
• Optional aromatics: Add onion slices or a few garlic cloves to the skillet while baking for extra flavor.

This Melt In Your Mouth Chicken is tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor in every bite. With simple ingredients and easy steps, it’s a recipe you’ll return to again and again for dinner parties, weeknight meals, or anytime you want a truly satisfying chicken dish.
