Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
Equipment Needed
– Baking sheet
– Parchment paper (optional)
– Mixing bowl
– Meat thermometer
– Tongs or a fork
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). I find that this temperature is perfect for getting that nice roasted texture without drying out the chicken. While the oven is warming up, I like to grab my mixing bowl and combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. This blend not only flavors the chicken but also helps it develop that irresistible golden-brown crust. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
