Easy Oven Baked Chicken

I started making this easy oven baked chicken recipe nearly two decades ago and it quickly became a family favorite! With only about 5 minutes of prep and 45 minutes of baking time, you have a quick and easy chicken dish that is perfect to serve any day of the week.

Ingredients

4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts or use an equivalent amount of any chicken pieces, boneless or bone in, skinless or skin on
1 Cup Ketchup
1/4 Cup finely chopped onion
1/4 Cup Vinegar
3 Tbsp sugar
1/4 Cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 Cup water
4 Cloves Garlic minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Note: Original recipe called for a whopping 1 T. of salt which to me was way too much.

Instructions

There are very few directions here!
Simply place the chicken in a baking dish. I like to spray the dish with Pam to keep it from sticking.
Mix the remaining ingredients together and pour over the chicken.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 45 minutes until the chicken is done completely through. That's it!

Recipe Notes

We like it as is with roast potatoes on the side or served over rice or noodles. Pairs really well with potato and pasta salads and pretty much any vegetable side dish or salad.
