Seasoning Chicken Breasts

For this recipe, we season the chicken with salt and pepper. My kids love to dip their baked chicken into a variety of dipping sauces so we keep the seasoning simple.

However, any dry seasoning blend can be substituted for the salt and pepper for an extra burst of flavor. Customize the flavors based on what you like!
