Recipe Card of Oven Baked Chicken Breast
This oven-baked chicken breast is the ultimate crowd-pleaser, boasting juicy, tender meat with a robust seasoning mix that brings your dinner table to life. Perfect for those busy weeknights or a leisurely family dinner.
Ingredients list
- 2 pounds chicken breast boneless and skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter diced
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a toasty 400°F. Give a 9x13 inch casserole dish a light greasing to prevent sticking and make clean-up a breeze.
- Sandwich the chicken breasts between two plastic wraps, then use a rolling pin or the flat side of a mallet to gently pound them to an even thickness of about 0.5 - 0.75 inches. Coat the chicken in olive oil.
- Combine brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Generously sprinkle over the chicken, then rub it in lightly to ensure an even coating.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken in the prepared casserole dish. Top each piece with diced butter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature hits 165°F. Broil for 1-3 minutes for a golden finish. Serve immediately for the freshest taste!
