Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Freshly chopped parsley for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pound chicken using a rolling pin or meat mallet so they have even thickness, about ¼-inch thick.
- Combine the paprika, garlic powder, oregano, onion powder, salt, pepper and olive oil in a large bowl. Place the chicken in the bowl and toss to combine so the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning all around.
- Bake the chicken for 15-17 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- For more golden brown color, broil on high heat for 2 minutes. Allow chicken to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving or cutting.
- To serve, drizzle the pan juices over the chicken and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 3 days.
