  • ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
  • ½ teaspoon oregano

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
  2. Pat chicken dry and place on baking sheet, making each chicken breast as flat as possible.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with spices. Repeat on other side.
  4. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a thermometer registers 160° F.
  5. Let rest until cool.
  6. Package for later use (along with any accumulated juices) or use right away!

Notes

  • Marinate chicken in your favorite sauce or a mix of oil, acid (like lemon juice or vinegar), herbs, and spices. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for maximum flavor.
  • When cutting your cooked chicken for meal prep containers, always slice against the grain. This makes each bite more tender and easier to chew, even after refrigeration.
  • To keep meals interesting, vary your seasonings, marinades, or sauces each week. This way, you can enjoy different flavors without extra prep time.
  • Taking the time to pound thicker chicken breasts to a more uniform size will help make sure they all get cooked through just right.
