Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Seasoning Rub

  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425° F.
  • Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Place them in a large zip-top bag or between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  • Place chicken breasts in a baking dish. Drizzle with the olive oil and rub over both sides of chicken.
  • Combine the seasoning rub ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Rub the seasoning rub over both sides of the chicken.
  • Bake chicken breasts according to their size: bake 5-6 ounce breasts for 13-16 minutes, bake 8 ounce breasts for 16-19 minutes, bake 11-12 ounce breasts for 22-26 minutes. Check that chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165° F by inserting an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the meat.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
