Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts: 2 (6-8 ounces each)
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- Paprika: 1 teaspoon
- Dried Italian seasoning: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- Butter: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Step 3: Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts, then rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each breast.
- Step 4: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Top each chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Step 5: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best results, reheat gently in a skillet with a little butter to keep the chicken moist.
- Serve this juicy chicken with roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
- Don't skip the butter on top; it's the secret to that melt-in-your-mouth tenderness!
