Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 piece Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps create a better sear and ensures even cooking.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
- Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
- Once cooked, let the chicken breasts rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more moist.
Notes
Serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, salad, or rice. This recipe is very versatile and can be seasoned in many different ways.
