Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 piece(s) Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoon(s) Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon(s) Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon(s) Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon(s) Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon(s) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon(s) Black pepper
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.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish or on a baking sheet. Brush the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
- Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a more tender and moist result.
Notes
Serve with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, salad, or rice.
