Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish in a single layer.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil evenly over the chicken breasts.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning generously over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.
Bake the chicken for 18-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
