Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 3 medium chicken breasts (4-5 oz each)
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Pound chicken to 0.6" at the thickest part with a meat mallet, rolling pin, your fist or even a heavy cast iron skillet. This step will help the chicken to cook evenly.
  • Mix all the spices (paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper) in a small bowl.
  • Line baking dish or roasting pan with parchment paper. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer.
  • Pour olive oil on top of the chicken breast, rub over with your fingers and sprinkle the seasonings on top of the chicken. Do step 5 on both sides.
  • Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until it gets the internal temperature of 165˚F. To know exactly when it is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer.
  • Remove from oven and transfer chicken breast to a cutting board. Allow cooling down for about 5 minutes before serving.
  • Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
