Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Use a paper towel to pat them dry on both sides.
Step 3
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the chicken breasts and rub it in to coat them fully.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts and rub it in to ensure an even coating.
Step 6
Cut the butter into small pieces and place a few pieces on top of each chicken breast.
Step 7
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. This helps retain the juices and ensures tender meat.
Step 9
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for an added pop of flavor and color.
