Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

Baking dish or rimmed sheet pan
Small bowl
Tongs
Instant-read food thermometer

Instructions

Bake

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Pat the chicken breasts dry. If one end is much thicker than the other, gently pound the thickest area so the breasts are more even in thickness.
Place the chicken in a baking dish or on a rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and rub it over both sides.
Mix the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, then season both sides of the chicken evenly.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, depending on thickness, checking the thickest breast early to avoid overcooking.
Remove the chicken when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F.
Rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Chicken breast thickness affects cooking time; use internal temperature rather than time alone to determine doneness.
For even cooking, choose similarly sized breasts or flatten unusually thick portions before baking.
