Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 4-5 ounces each
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • cooking spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Brush the butter all over both sides of the chicken.
  3. Place the brown sugar, salt, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper in a bowl. Stir to combine.
  4. Rub the spice mixture all over both sides of the chicken breasts.
  5. Bake the chicken for 18-20 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into a chicken breast registers at least 165 degrees F.
  6. Sprinkle with parsley. Let stand for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

  • Choose chicken breasts that are approximately the same size so that they cook at the same rate.
  • Avoid using chicken breasts that are overly thick, as they will take a lot longer to cook through and will be more prone to drying out.
