It needs to be budget-friendly, quick and easy, and requires little clean-up.
Does this seem hard?

Yes, but CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
Bake the chicken at high heat.
Baking chicken breasts at a high heat locks in that moisture that keeps them juicy.

How is this done?
Ill walk you through it step-by-step.
Prep is easy and only takes 5 to 10 minutes.
Simply Recipes / Alison Bickel
Preheat the oven to 425F.
While the oven is preheating, bust out that aluminum foil and line the baking sheet.
That way, every inch of that baking sheet is covered.

After the chicken cooks, I simply scrunch up the foil and toss it.
Zero scrubbing is required.
Or, you’ve got the option to cook all the chicken and use it as meal prep.
Lightly pound each chicken breast down to ensure even cooking using a meat mallet.
The goal isn’t to get them super thin.
You’re trying to get them to be even in thickness.
(Don’t have a meat mallet?
I’ve used the heel of my own bare hands to punch that chicken down.
Of course, try not to hurt yourself.)
Sprinkle each chicken breast with salt and black pepper.
Season and grease the other side.
Bake for 18 to 21 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
When the chicken is done baking, let it rest for about 3 minutes before cutting them up.
it’s possible for you to cut the chicken into cubes, thin slices, or even shred it.
