For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in olive oil and seasonings for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) before baking. Adjust the amount of Creole seasoning to your preference. If you prefer less heat, start with a smaller pinch and add more as needed. Don't discard the pan drippings! They are the key to a flavorful sauce. Be sure to scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
