Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 6 oz each
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Seasoning Blend

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pound the chicken breasts to ½–¾ inch thickness between plastic wrap using a rolling pin. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Brush chicken with olive oil. Season with salt, smoked paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
  • Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use similar-sized chicken breasts for even cooking. Add roasted vegetables or grains for a complete meal. Leftovers are perfect for wraps, salads, and sandwiches.
