**Chicken Breast Boneless Skinless**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh herbs, for garnish (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
3. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps the seasonings stick better and promotes browning.
4. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub it evenly over each piece.
5. Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over both sides of each chicken breast, gently pressing the seasoning into the meat.
6. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
8. Remove the skillet from the oven. Tent the chicken with foil and let it rest for 5 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the chicken moist.
9. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme, if desired.
10. Serve the Chicken Breast Boneless Skinless hot with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
With just a few simple ingredients and straightforward steps, you can create a delicious and versatile dish that everyone will love. Feel free to customize the seasonings to suit your taste preferences or add different herbs for an extra burst of flavor. This recipe is perfect for meal prepping, as the cooked chicken can be stored in the fridge for several days and used in salads, sandwiches, wraps, or pasta dishes. Enjoy the convenience and taste of homemade Chicken Breast Boneless Skinless any day of the week!
