Ingredients
- 1 tsp paprika
- 5 chicken breast cutlets (about 5-6 oz each, for even cooking)
- salt (kosher salt is preferred for better control)
- 1 tsp Italian spice blend (look for blends without added salt)
- 1/2 tsp onion granules
- 3 tbsp olive oil (I recommend California Olive Ranch extra virgin)
- 1/2 tsp garlic granules
- black pepper
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 450 degrees F to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the chicken.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a 9″ x 13″ baking dish or on a sheet pan.
Drizzle olive oil over the top of the chicken breasts.
Flip the chicken around to coat it thoroughly, rubbing the olive oil all over the chicken.
Step 3: Mix the Spices
In a small bowl, combine the following spices: paprika, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix them together well to create a uniform spice blend.
Step 4: Season the Chicken
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Make sure to season both sides of the chicken for maximum flavor.
Step 5: Bake the Chicken
Bake the seasoned chicken in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F as measured with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken breast.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious, juicy chicken breasts!
