Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are an economical choice and there are many different ways of preparing and cooking them. You can coat the breasts and then pan fry or bake them for juicy results.
One of the simplest ways to add juiciness and flavor to this kind of meat is to dip it in melted butter or oil and then roll it in a dry mixture, which will stick to the butter layer. This gives you a tasty coating and gives your boneless, skinless meat extra appeal.

Each of the following recipes makes enough coating for four boneless, skinless breasts and you can bake them for about twenty minutes at 400 degrees F or until the juices from the center run clear when you pierce the thickest part of the chicken with a knife. An instant-read thermometer is also handy and when it reads 160 degrees F, the chicken is done.
Serve coated poultry with some cooked broccoli or green beans, or maybe a simple salad and some fries or mashed potatoes for a complete meal, which is delicious as well as well balanced.
