Description
Bright, savory, and incredibly simple, this Easy Flavorful Chicken delivers golden-baked chicken breasts with a crisp exterior and tender, juicy interior.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Make sure the rack is in the middle of the oven for even heat.
- Combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk until evenly blended.
- Rub the spice mixture thoroughly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned chicken in a baking dish in a single layer. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until completely cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Slice the chicken against the grain and serve with your favorite sides; garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Resting the chicken for a few minutes allows juices to redistribute, keeping slices moist. Adjust the seasoning according to taste.
