How to Tell the Chicken is Cooked Properly
These chicken breasts are baked in the oven for 50 minutes which is enough time to cook them all the way through until they are juicy and tender. However, if you aren’t sure you can use a meat thermometer to check the chicken is done. Simply insert it into the thickest part of the chicken breasts (test the largest one too) and once it reaches 165F the chicken is cooked through.
