Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 2 lbs
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the salt, paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and pepper.
  • Coat the chicken breasts in olive oil, and then rub the spice mix on both sides of the chicken.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish or on a lined baking sheet and cook for 20-25 minutes, depending on size of chicken breast. Internal temp should be 165F. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then serve.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm in a skillet, oven, or microwave, being careful not to overcook to keep the chicken juicy.
