Ingredients

0.25 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly butter a baking dish. Gather all ingredients.
In a bowl, combine the melted butter and salt.
Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish. Brush the butter mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring it's fully coated. Pour any remaining butter mixture over the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious baked chicken!
