Healthy Skin On Chicken Breast Recipes
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been tackling ways to cook juicy, tender chicken breasts that are scrumptious enough to enjoy all on their own, or to mix with your favorite salads, pastas, and more.
Bone-in chicken is called split chicken breast because a whole chicken breast technically includes BOTH sides of the chicken (it looks like a big heart shape). Since you purchase the meat cut into two pieces, the breast is “split.”
When it comes to roast chicken, dark meat lovers tend to get the better deal, this Baked Chicken Thighs recipe shows that chicken thighs are harder to overcook and more inherently juicy than chicken breasts.

Baking split chicken breast (remember, that’s chicken breast with the bone in and skin on) creates the same tender, roasted succulence that dark meat lovers enjoy, but with the lighter flavor of white meat.
A white meat lover myself, learning to cook bone in chicken was one of the moments in my early-20s where I felt like I’d learned something truly useful in the kitchen.
Split chicken breasts take 35 to 45 minutes to bake at 350 degrees F, compared to the 15 to 25 minutes at 425 degrees F needed to bake boneless breasts. The time is worth it.
The Best Chicken Marinade (for Grilling Or Baking)
This is a back-pocket, easy baked chicken recipe that’s perfect for making lightly seasoned diced or shredded chicken that you can use in any of your favorite recipes.
From Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad, to chicken casseroles, to one of the “5 Unboring Ways to Use Shredded Chicken” I share in my cookbook, this baked bone-in chicken is versatile and will make your recipes scrumptious.
I’ve suggested my go-to garlic and herb seasoning blend here, but you can certainly swap it for any of your favorite seasonings.

How To Get Crispy Skin Chicken Breasts
Hi, I'm Erin Clarke, and I'm fearlessly dedicated to making healthy food that's affordable, easy-to-make, and best of all DELISH. I'm the author and recipe developer here at and of The Well Plated Cookbook. I adore both sweets and veggies, and I am on a mission to save you time and dishes. WELCOME!I've been making chicken breast for many years now. I used to think it was dry and bland until I learned how to bake chicken breast that actually came out juicy.
Then I upgraded it even more. I started making interesting variations, all of them excellent. Such as Cajun chicken, parmesan-crusted chicken, bacon-wrapped chicken, and blackened chicken.
I still prefer duck breast or even turkey breast, but now that I've started making skin-on chicken breast, I'm completely enamored. In fact, this recipe has quickly become one of my favorite ways to cook chicken. I tend to make it about once a week, and no one complains!
Crispy Skin Chicken Breasts With Warm Mushroom Salad Recipe
You'll only need a few simple ingredients to make this tasty chicken recipe. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here's an overview of what you'll need:
To ensure crispy skin, I sauté the chicken first, skin side down. Then I roast it in the oven until it's fully cooked. The crispy skin is a delicacy!
This is a somewhat annoying extra step, and I'll admit that my go-to chicken recipe is still the basic boneless skinless baked chicken breast. It's just so easy and versatile. But when I'm inspired to invest just a little more in making dinner, this recipe s absolutely wonderful.
Instant Pot Bone In Chicken Breasts (from Fresh Or Frozen)
I don't recommend that. Finishing the dish in the oven ensures the chicken is fully cooked on the inside after you've crisped up the skin.
Pan-frying chicken breasts typically requires either flattening them or butterflying them. And you'd need to cook them for longer over lower heat. In other words, that would be an entirely different recipe!
I typically find it at Whole Foods. It's not usually pre-packaged but you can ask the butcher for it. And if they don't have it, they can order it for you.

The best way to vary this recipe is by using different spices. I like to use garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme. Other interesting options include onion powder, dried oregano, chili powder, and ground cumin.
This is such a versatile main dish. It truly goes with anything. But since I bake it in a 450°F oven, I like to serve it with side dishes that I can bake in the same oven.
You can keep the leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 3-4 days, although the skin does lose its crispiness. I usually remove the skin and shred the meat to use as a salad topping.

Sometimes I cube the meat and use it in a chicken cobb salad. Another option is to gently reheat the leftovers in a 250°F oven.
