Ingredients
  

Core Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the chicken in the baking dish and bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain moisture.

Notes

Use leftovers for salads, wraps, or meal prep bowls. For a twist, add lemon zest or Italian seasoning to the spice mix. This method also works well with chicken thighs if you prefer a juicier cut.
