Servings: 4 people
Cost: 15
Ingredients
- 4 thin-cut boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika optional for color and flavor
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: grated Parmesan or fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. This helps it crisp up and bake evenly.
- Season: In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub olive oil on both sides of each chicken breast, then sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over both sides.
- Bake: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Thin chicken cooks fast, so keep an eye on it!
- Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This keeps it juicy.
