OVEN BAKED ROTISSERIE CHICKEN BREASTS

I love having easy baked Chicken Recipes on hand that come together quickly, and it doesn’t get easier than this. Using boneless and skinless chicken breasts keeps these very lean, but you can use bone-in, skin-on breasts to lock in flavor and moisture and produce a perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior – simply use our recipe below for the Baked Split Chicken Breast Recipe.  

While Oven Baked Rotisserie Chicken Breasts are in the oven, you can cook up some rice and toss together a salad for a simple and healthy weeknight dinner. They are also perfect for grilling! You can bake a batch and slice up the leftovers to use all week long to toss on salads, make fresh chicken sandwiches, or on top of burrito bowls. There are also Instant Pot instructions below.

Having a batch of Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning on hand makes this quick recipe even simpler, and the seasoning infuses the flavors of onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper and thyme into the chicken. You’ll achieve the mouth watering taste of your favorite quick-pickup chicken with the freshness of homemade cooking and the nutritional benefits of using all breast meat.

Do not Overcook Chicken Breast

You don’t want to overcook chicken breasts or they will dry out, so if you have one make sure to use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature until it is just at 165.

Since we don’t have skin and bone as a protective barrier here you want to keep a timer going or check the progress so you don’t overcook the meat. Since we are adding a dry seasoning to this chicken baking is preferable as cooking it in the skillet could cause the spices to burn. Cooking it in the oven allows the chicken to stay moist and lets the spices cook gently.

What to serve with Rotisserie Chicken?

Oven Baked Rotisserie Chicken Breasts are a delicious year-round dish that goes well with many kinds of sides. Make it family friendly with Broccoli in Cheese Sauce and Easy Mashed Potatoes, or elevate it for a special dinner with a Classic Wedge Salad and Mushroom Risotto.

    1. If you want the flavor of olive oil keep in mind it is best used for moderate-heat cooking. We choose vegetable oil for a cleaner flavor and for high-heat cooking.

  2. I have been trying to get my kids to eat more chicken. This is the first recipe that they both agreed was so good.

  4. I have not tried the rotisserie chicken recipes yet, but I was looking for information on how to make chicken at home – taste like rotisserie chicken. A couple of months ago I bought a 15 oz. size of rotisserie seasoning in hopes of using it on a whole chicken or on chicken breasts, and making them taste like store bought rotisserie chicken. My thing is, if I buy a rotisserie chicken – I EAT IT!!! I don’t go to the expense of using it in a recipe. But I do buy a 3 lb. or 5 lb. bag of chicken breasts and keep them on hand – to use in recipes. I was really glad to come across your recipes on making rotisserie chicken at home. I have found a number of recipes calling for rotisserie chicken and really didn’t know how or if I could use my seasoning on boneless-skinless chicken breasts and make them taste like “store bought” rotisserie chicken. I have run across a number of your recipes and have run off copies of them, but haven’t tried them yet. I try to look for simple recipes or some that won’t take to much time in preparing cause due to health issues, I can only stand for short periods of time – then take a break, sit down for awhile then go back to standing and working at what I’m doing. I hate not being able to go in my kitchen and cook like I use to. Cooking has always been a passion of mine. I use to love trying out new recipes, but now days I look for the simple and fast ones, but sometimes they’re not always flavorful ones. I am very anxious to try out your recipe for making rotisserie chicken breasts cause I just came across 6 easy and quick recipes using shredded rotisserie chicken. Thank you so very much, I’ll try and remember to drop you a note and let you know how the chicken turns out. You have a great day! Oh by the way, I’m 68 yrs. old and I don’t know how to use twitter or those other goofy things. It’s so much easier when a printable recipe is always given cause a lot of us older cooks don’t know how to use these other options (twitter and what ever) in order to get some of the recipes that people post. Thanks again, and you have a great day!

  5. Hi there.
    I would like to know if one could skewer the fillets onto the rotisserie skewers like you would a whole chicken…. Would the cooking time be the same?
    It sounds really good….!
    Thanks

  7. Guess I’ve missed out on rotisserie seasoning at my local grocery store…..is this a specialty item?

    Reply

    1. The name linked in the instructions is the recipe you can find on this site, no need to buy a spice mix! Sorry for the confusion.

      Reply

  8. Another question–if we don’t have white pepper–is there something else we can use or should we just leave it out of the basic rotisserie chicken spice mix?
    Thank you!!

    1. You can just add in a little bit more black pepper. I just use it because it’s milder and you don’t see the black specks. Enjoy!

  11. Made it with a bone-in, skin-on breast. Because my husband is doing Keto, I mixed some the seasoning with butter, put it under the skin, then rubbed the skin with more of the seasoning. Turned out very good, moist and flavorful. Thanks!

      1. I’m getting ready to make this but I don’t see anything in the instructions on slicing the breasts. I see you’ve done a criss cross pattern on each. Is that what you recommend?

        Reply

        1. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Yes, criss-cross score your chicken breast and I will make a note to update the recipe card.
