Ingredients

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.
- Nutrition is estimated per serving and may vary by ingredient brand, exact portion size, and preparation.
