Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons of salt in 4 cups of water to create a brine.
Step 2
Submerge the chicken breasts in the brine and refrigerate for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 4
Remove the chicken breasts from the brine, rinse with cold water, and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano.
Step 6
Place the chicken breasts on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Step 7
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub them to coat evenly.
Step 8
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 10
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and tender chicken.
