Tips:
When it comes to baking chicken, there are a few pro tips to keep in mind in order to ensure that your dish turns out perfectly. First and foremost, always make sure that your chicken is at room temperature before you begin cooking it. This will help to ensure that the meat cooks evenly throughout. Secondly, be sure to butter or oil your baking dish before adding the chicken to it. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan and also add a bit of extra flavor. Lastly, always be sure to use a meat thermometer when cooking chicken in order to ensure that it is cooked through completely. These simple tips will help you create a delicious and perfectly cooked butter baked chicken dish every time!
Notes:
-To ensure even cooking, pound chicken breasts to an even thickness before proceeding with the recipe.
-If you don’t have time to pound out the chicken, you can cut it into smaller pieces instead.
-This recipe calls for butter and garlic to be melted together and brushed on top of the chicken during baking. If you’re looking for a shortcut, you can use garlic butter that’s already been prepared.

This recipe for butter baked chicken is simple and delicious. The key to making it successful is to cook the chicken slowly and evenly, so that the butter has a chance to melt and baste the chicken as it cooks.
