Oven-baked Chicken Fillets


Since I was making a batch of chicken-pumpkin bake (I call it a 'fake quiche') for a small floof and her moms, I had more than enough ingredients to do something else for Choya and the man too. I didn't bother to do the egg-bake for them. Decided to do them straight-up chicken breasts fillets for the man and Choya as an easy bake, with no eggs. 

The man's version was heartier with the salt, garlic and shallots, along with an easy marinade of paprika, parsley and oregano. He likes vegetables. Grilled or baked vegetables can be really tasty. He does like broccoli and pumpkin loads, and he liked them done this way tonight. #ImpieCooks2024

Choya's version was not marinated of course. A few drops of olive oil, bit of salt flakes with dried oregano and parsley on the chicken, broccoli and pumpkin would do. She asked for a taste of her portion even as it was cooling. I don't know how she knows there's food for her. So she had a bit of it as a snack. She even deigned to eat the broccoli. Wow. 

Cooking things using mainly the oven is super clean. There isn't much oil splatter at all. I don't even have to scrub the oven. A simple wipe-down would do. Of course I cover those trays in foil, especially if it's chicken breasts baking. That would keep them fillets tender in the oven-heat. Once done and out of the oven, the trays would need to rest, and the foil is perfect for that.
