Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
Instructions
In a large bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons of salt in 4 cups of water to create a brine.
Submerge the chicken breasts in the brine and refrigerate for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Remove the chicken breasts from the brine, rinse with cold water, and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano.
Place the chicken breasts on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub them to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and tender chicken.
