Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Use a paper towel to pat them dry on both sides.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the chicken breasts and rub it in to coat them fully.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts and rub it in to ensure an even coating.
Cut the butter into small pieces and place a few pieces on top of each chicken breast.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. This helps retain the juices and ensures tender meat.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for an added pop of flavor and color.
