Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 cup hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup light blue cheese dressing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly coat a baking dish with olive oil spray.
Place the chicken breasts in the dish and season them on both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
Pour the buffalo sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve with light blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
