Juicy Baked Chicken Breasts

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 Tbsps avocado oil OR extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees f.
  • In a small bowl, whisk your sea salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic powder and smoked paprika.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap and pound lightly so your chicken is an even thickness.
  • Pour the oil in a 13" x 9" baking dish. Add in the chicken breast and lightly dredge to coat well.
  • Sprinkle your seasoning mixture over both sides of the chicken and gently rub it in with your fingers.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.
  • Cover with foil and allow them to rest for 10 minutes to lock in the moisture.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, then slice against the grain and enjoy!
  • Refrigerate in an air-tight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
