This is the best way to make oven baked chicken breast: The chicken is generously seasoned, then bakes to juicy perfection!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken breast (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter (diced)

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep: Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.

  2. 2

    Flatten: Place chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin or the flat side of a mallet, pound chicken to about 0.5 - 0.75 inch thickness. Rub olive oil all over flattened chicken breasts.

  3. 3

    Season: Combine all remaining ingredients EXCEPT for butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle all over chicken, then lightly rub it in.

  4. 4

    Bake: Place seasoned chicken in prepared casserole dish. Top each chicken breast with a slice of butter. Bake at 400°F until internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 18-20 minutes. Finish chicken under broiler for 1-3 minutes, until nicely browned. Serve immediately.
