"This is as the title says very simple to make and tastes great. The cook time will vary depending on the thickness of the breast so make sure you cook it until juices run clear when poked with a fork. If you are not sure use a meat thermometer, take the breast out when thermometer reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit when inserted in the center of the breast. Do not wait until the thermometer reads 170 which is what the internal temperature of cooked chicken should be; it will continue to cook while resting and be dry."
