How long does it take to bake a chicken breast?!
Answers: with bones 45 minutes without bones 20 minutes oven temp 400
Depends on the weight of the breast. The best way to tell if chicken is done is to push down on teh meat with a utensil. If the juice run out is clear, its usually done. If you are still concerned, just make a small cut in the meat. If it is no londer pinkbut white, its done.
The first question is why? to heat a oven just to cook a chix breast is just wrong.
Other than that no matter what kind of breast you want to cook if you do it 45 mins. you will have sawdust. I can roast a whole bird in that time.
Me I would saute it. A little salt, pepper a non-stick pan you can cook it in mins.
One other person had sort of the right idea. you need to use a finger not a utensil. Push on the meat if it's firm to the touch it's done. The greatest crime done to chix is over cooking. Yes I know chix needs to be fully cooked but not destroyed.
