Serves: 10 - 4 oz. servings
Ingredients
  • 3 bone-in, skin on, chicken breasts – about 4 lbs. total
  • 1 Tbs. Olive Oil
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp. savory seasoning – any type (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken breasts on a half sheet pan. Brush all over with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper, and savory seasoning, if using. Place pan on a rack in the bottom third of oven and roast for 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Let the chicken rest like this for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
  2. Serve the chicken as is (reheat if desired), or shred the meat to use on/in salads, pasta, pizza and sandwiches. To shred, removed the skin and bones, cut the breast in half crosswise and pull the chicken apart with your fingers into bite size pieces following the grain of the meat. Alternatively, you can cut the chicken into ½ inch cubes. Will yield about 2 ½ lbs. of cooked chicken.
