This Oven Baked Chicken Breast is so easy with 5 minutes of prep. Simple seasonings transform healthy chicken into a juicy flavorful dish!

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless & skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Ground black pepper (to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a medium baking dish, place chicken, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Using tongs or hands, move chicken around to coat on all sides evenly (I place bottom of breast on top of seasoned one and then swoosh around).

  3. 3

    Bake for 25 minutes (under 2") to 35 minutes (2"+) or until instant meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 150 degrees F.

  4. 4

    Remove from the oven, cover with foil or lid, and let rest for 10 minutes for the juices to settle (don't skip!).

  5. 5

    Slice against the grain and serve along any side with a salad. Meal prep for the week, use in salads and casseroles.
