Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps create a better sear.
• In a small bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
• Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
• Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a baking dish.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
