Oven Baked Chicken Breast Recipe
Description
The Oven Baked Chicken Breast is prepared by placing multiple chicken breasts in a baking dish and coating them with olive oil, which helps retain moisture and promotes browning. A seasoning blend of paprika, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper is rubbed onto the chicken for flavor. The high heat of 400°F cooks the chicken relatively quickly over 25 to 30 minutes, allowing the exterior to develop some color while the interior remains tender.
The finished chicken breasts should reach an internal temperature of 165°F and then rest at least five minutes to redistribute juices, ensuring moist pieces when cut. This straightforward recipe produces reliably cooked chicken suitable for various meals, from salads to sandwiches or alongside side dishes.
Ingredients
- 5-6 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the chicken breast in a 9X13 baking dish.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts. I used a basting brush to cover the chicken breasts.
- Combine all the seasonings in a small bowl.
- Rub the seasoning mixture over the chicken breasts.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- All the chicken breasts to rest for a minimum of 5 minutes before slicing.
- Enjoy!
