Ingredients

  • 1 quart water, warm
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, and pounded to even thickness
  • freshly-cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup everything seasoning blend, divided

Directions

Step 1 -Fill a large bowl with the 1 quart of warm water and the 1/4 cup of the kosher salt.

Step 2 -Mix until most of the salt is absorbed.

Step 3 -Add the chicken breasts and let them sit in the mixture to brine for 15 minutes.

Step 4 -Cover the bowl and refrigerate for up to 6 hours.

Step 5 -Remove the chicken breasts from the brine, rinse them with cold water, and pat them dry with some paper towels.

Step 6 -Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Step 7 -Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a large baking dish.

Step 8 -Brush both sides of the chicken, turning once, evenly with the melted butter.

Step 9 -Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the seasoning blend evenly on top of each chicken breast. Gently pat the chicken to add the seasoning.

Step 10 -Mist the chicken with a brief shot of cooking spray.

Step 11 -Bake until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 18-20 minutes. When using a cooking thermometer to measure the temperature, choose the thickest part of the breast. It should read 165 degrees F.

Step 12 -Once the chicken is cooked, remove the pan from the oven and loosely tent the pan with aluminum foil.

Step 13 -Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes.

Step 14 -Serve immediately.
