Simple Broiled Chicken Breasts
Description
A lemony seasoned butter mixture brushed on both sides of broiled chicken breasts adds quick and easy flavor to this simple main dish.
Ingredients
•
nonstick cooking spray
•
1 tablespoon butter, softened
•
1 tablespoon lemon juice
•
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
•
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Directions
1
Set an oven rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Spray a broiler pan with cooking spray.
2
Combine butter, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl; mix until well blended.
3
Place chicken on the prepared pan and brush with 1/2 of the butter mixture.
4
Broil in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Turn chicken, brush with remaining butter mixture, and broil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
