Ingredients

  • 4 medium sized chicken breasts – about 2 pounds, or 7-8 ounces each
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil

Directions

  1. 1

    to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a large baking dish or rimmed baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Using a meat pounder or a rolling pin pound the thickest part of each chicken breast until they are roughly the same thickness throughout. This helps the chicken cook evenly and prevents it from drying out.

  3. 3

    Add chicken breasts to a bowl and toss with all the spices and olive oil or avocado oil until evenly coated. Place in the baking dish, evenly spaced apart. Transfer to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, until cooked through and internal temperature reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

  4. 4

    Allow chicken breasts to rest for several minutes before slicing. Brush with pan juices, slice, serve, and enjoy!
