The key to this recipe is letting the chicken breasts sit in a brine of saltwater for at least 15 minutes, unless your chicken breasts were sold pre-brined. (You can check the packaging if you’re not sure.) Then you just rinse them off, slather on some butter, add them to a baking pan or sheet, and generously sprinkle with that glorious everything bagel seasoning. You can also dip the chicken into the seasoning to coat both sides if you want an extra oomph of flavor.
