– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts – 1 tablespoon olive oil – 1 teaspoon garlic powder – 1 teaspoon onion powder – 1 teaspoon paprika – Salt and pepper to taste – Fresh parsley (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the chicken breasts on a flat surface. Rub both sides with olive oil to ensure even cooking and crispness.
Season each chicken breast with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Press gently to adhere the seasoning.
Arrange the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they aren't overlapping to allow proper heat circulation for even cooking.
Bake the chicken breasts for about 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, making the chicken moist and flavorful.
Garnish with fresh parsley, slice, and serve. Pair with your favorite sides, such as vegetables or rice, for a complete meal. Enjoy!
