Every struggle to make chicken breast without drying it out or having a struggle with dry, rubbery, and just flat-out boring chicken breasts, I found all I needed to do was use a special seasoning mix, I rubbed it all over the chicken breasts, and then baked my pieces in the right amount of time at a high temperature.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil , or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, or oregano, parsley or other herbs
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Note::
- A simple blend of spices: paprika, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper makes the chicken super delicious. If you don’t have thyme swap it with  basil, rosemary, or another herb. It will still be amazing.Â
How to make it:
- Preheat your oven to 425 F degrees.
- In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, thyme, salt and pepper until combined. Read Note in Ingredients.
- I found that the key to juicy chicken breasts was to cook them hot at 425 F degrees for the right amount of time. To get this right, it’ll depend on the size of the chicken breasts and your own oven (remember, all ovens cook differently).
- Here’s a guideline I try to follow:
- Small Breasts (5 oz): cook for 18-20 minutes.
- Medium Breasts (7 oz): cook for 20-22 minutes.
- Large Breasts (9 oz): cook for 22-25 minutes.
- Use an Instant Read Thermometer it really saves the meat.
