Does marinated chicken cook faster?
Let the Marinade Do the Work
Reduce the cooking time by several minutes when using these marinades. The longer you let your protein soak, the less time it takes to cook. In fact, some fish products, like ceviche, actually “cook” fully in the marinade, with no application of heat required!
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Toss the chicken breasts with olive oil, herbs, and spices (per recipe below).
- Lightly grease a baking dish or pan so the chicken breasts don’t stick.
- Bake chicken breasts for 22-26 minutes or until they reach 165°F.
- Rest them before you slice or pull them.
