Instructions
Creating delicious oven baked chicken breast is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure you have the right cooking temperature for juicy chicken.
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3. Season the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried herbs. Mix well.
4. Coat the Chicken: Use your hands or a brush to generously coat each chicken breast in the seasoning mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered.
5. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and cover it loosely with foil. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
8. Slice and Serve: After resting, slice the chicken breasts as desired and prepare to serve.
