There are lots of boneless chicken recipes you can make and, even if you are new to cooking, you will find that it is easy to work with. Baking is one great cooking method for this kind of meat and there are hundreds of baked chicken recipes you can make for your family.

You can bake chicken as it is, in a sauce, in a liquid or with some herbs and spices rubbed into it. A nice way to add plenty of flavor while keeping your meat moist and succulent is to poach it in a roasting dish in the oven.

Easy Recipes for Juicy Baked Chicken

One of the easiest ways to bake it is to combine it with a can of soup and bake it for an hour at about 350 degrees F. You can use celery soup, mushroom soup, cheese soup, onion soup or anything else you fancy. Make sure the meat is covered with a lid or aluminum foil to stop it from drying out.

Another great baked chicken recipe is to use a combination of orange juice, sherry, and drained, canned mandarin orange segments instead of the soup and bake the poultry until the juices run clear. Recipes like this are amazingly easy and you probably have all or most of the ingredients already.

If you like your poultry quite plain, rub some olive oil over it and then add salt and pepper. Bake the meat until the juices run clear. This is a useful and easy recipe to know and you can add some herbs or spices to the bird if you like, before cooking it.

If you want to serve your poultry with a flavorful homemade gravy, put the roasting tin on the stove and scrape up the burnt on bits with a metal spatula, stirring them into the drippings. Add some broth or a bit of white wine and pour the mixture into a small saucepan. Cook it over a high heat until the gravy is thick, keeping the meat warm in the meantime.

If you like Mexican food, another great recipe idea is a creamy easy chicken enchiladas casserole. This is chicken stuffed tortillas with enchilada sauce and cheese over the top. You simply need to bake it until it is hot and the cheese is melted and golden brown. Enchiladas are delicious and the whole family will enjoy this easy yet very appetizing dish.

Tips for Perfect Baked Chicken

Poultry can dry out quickly so make sure you do not exceed the cooking time. You can test your meat by poking a knife into the thickest bit. If the juices run clear, the meat is done. Different recipes have different cooking times, depending on the size of the pieces, the other ingredients, and your oven.

When baking chicken pieces, use a shallow pan, which is large enough for the pieces not to be touching. If some of the meat is cooked before, the rest is done, remove it, and keep it warm under aluminum foil until the rest is done too.
