Equipment
- standing mixer or hand mixer
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 5-6 tablespoons Lawry's Chicken & Poultry Rub
- 8 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Tear 2 pieces of aluminum foil about 18 inches in length.
- Place the aluminum foil over top of each other. This provides double protection against the aluminum foil ripping at any point during the baking process.
- Put a tablespoon of olive oil in the center of the aluminum foil and place one chicken breast over top.
- Drizzle a tablespoon of oil over top of the chicken breast.
- Sprinkle the Lawry's Chicken & Poultry Rub generously over top of the chicken.
- Fold the ends of the aluminum foil together in the middle so the edges meet. Roll the edges down over top of the chicken.
- Fold down the remaining edges, so it creates a nice seal on all sides. Place on a baking sheet with the folded side up.
- Repeat this process for the remaining chicken breasts.
- Bake the chicken at 375 degrees F for about 30-45 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165-170 degrees F.
- Remove from heat and let rest in the foil packet for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the foil packets and place in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Save the foil packets and the juice inside.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, shred the chicken.
- If the chicken appears somewhat dry, add the juice from the foil packets to the chicken and mix well.
- Enjoy!
