Roasted Split Chicken Breast
Description
This recipe uses split bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts brushed with olive oil and seasoned with Italian seasoning and paprika, along with salt and pepper to taste. Roasting at 425°F for 40-50 minutes results in a well-cooked chicken with crispy skin and moist meat.
The combination of seasonings enhances the natural flavors of the chicken without overpowering it. The high oven temperature encourages browning and crispness on the skin.
You can customize the seasonings to your preference and optionally add diced vegetables or potatoes in the roasting pan for a complete meal baked all together. Garnishing with fresh parsley adds a touch of color and freshness.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Notes
- Feel free to add your preferred seasonings to the chicken before roasting.
