How Long Do I Cook Chicken Breast For In The Oven?
The cooking time for chicken breasts in the oven depends on the size and thickness of the chicken. Generally, boneless and skinless chicken breasts should be baked in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). For thicker chicken breasts, increase the cooking time accordingly and use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. It’s always best to err on the side of caution and make sure the chicken is fully cooked to avoid any food-borne illnesses.
