Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, approx 1.5 lbs (680g)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cracked black pepper
  • ½ tsp dried oregano

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound the thicker end with a mallet until the breast is an even thickness of about ¾ inch.
  2. Pat the chicken completely dry with paper towels. Rub each piece with olive oil, then evenly coat all sides with the combined garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
  3. Place the chicken on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 18-22 minutes, removing the chicken the moment the thickest part reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  4. Transfer the chicken to a plate and loosely tent with foil. Let it sit undisturbed for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
