Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and then coat them evenly with the spice mixture.

Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in an oven-safe skillet.
Step 5
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear them for about 3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.

Transfer the skillet with the chicken into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Remove the skillet from the oven once the chicken is cooked through. Allow it to rest for a couple of minutes.
