Ingredients
Dry Rub
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Baked Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 5 - 6 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil or parchment paper. You can also use a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the dry rub ingredients. Set aside.
- Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels.
- Place the chicken in a single layer on the baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Rub the oil all over each chicken breast. Season the chicken with the dry rub on both sides.
- Bake for 20 to 26 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Time will vary depending on the size and thickness of each breast.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- If your chicken breasts are too thick in certain areas, pound the chicken to even thickness with a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- Don't skip the oil! I use 1 tablespoon of olive oil for this recipe although a little extra wouldn't hurt! Since you don't have the skin to provide some needed fat to a very lean protein, some fat is needed to keep the chicken juicy.
- Do not overcook. Always check the internal temperature with an instant read thermometer. Chicken breast should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
