Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Brush both sides with olive oil.
- In a small bowl combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder and onion powder together. Sprinkle seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken on both sides.
- Place the baking dish in a preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. The thickest part of the breast should have an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Remove chicken from the oven, loosely tent the baking dish with aluminum foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve immediately after the chicken has rested.
Notes
- How long does it take to bake chicken breast at 400?
- It will take more time – about 20 to 25 minutes. I like to cook it at 450 because it’s faster and you also get a really nice crust on top from the higher heat.
- How do you keep it moist when baking?
- The best tip is to not overcook it. As soon as the internal temperature is 165°F the chicken is done. Cooking it for less time at a higher heat helps, too.
- Should you cover it when baking in the oven?
- For my recipe, you don’t need to. I prefer to bake it uncovered so you get a crust on top. If you cover it, the trapped moisture will keep that from happening.
- How long does it keep?
- Cooked chicken will keep for three to four days in the refrigerator. I recommend keeping the breasts whole when you chill them and only slicing off what you need. They won’t dry out as much this way.
- Can you use boneless, skinless thighs instead?
- Yes, but they probably need less baking time if they are smaller. Prep them the same way and cook them until they are 165°F.
