This easy oven-baked boneless skinless chicken breast recipe delivers juicy, flavorful chicken perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or meal prep. The chicken breasts are seasoned with a simple blend of garlic powder, paprika, Italian herbs, onion powder, salt, and pepper, then baked to tender perfection at 400°F.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)

Seasoning Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried Italian herbs, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Stir well to create a smooth seasoning mixture.
  4. Coat Chicken: Brush the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake Chicken: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 22-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) indicating the chicken is fully cooked.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender, juicy chicken. Slice and serve as desired.

Notes

  • For even cooking, try to use chicken breasts of similar size and thickness.
  • Using a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure the chicken is cooked through without drying out.
  • Letting the chicken rest after baking helps retain moisture and improves texture.
  • This recipe can be doubled or halved easily depending on your needs.
  • Feel free to customize the seasoning blend to include your favorite herbs and spices.
