Baked chicken breasts

Baked chicken breasts

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I actually used 3 because one of them was massive)
• 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Pound your chicken to even thickness, mine were about an inch thick.
3. Place the chicken breasts in a 9x13 baking dish. Brush both sides of chicken evenly with olive oil.
4. In a small small bowl, add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika and gently stir until combined.
5. Sprinkle seasoning evenly on both sides of chicken.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. (Internal temperature between 160-170 degrees F.) My chicken took about 18 minutes.
7. Remove chicken from oven and cover the pan with aluminum foil. Let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes. .
