INGREDIENTS
- 2 thin-sliced chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat & Prep – Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Add seasoning to the chicken – Add your thin-sliced pieces of chicken breast into a bowl or place on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Massage everything in, coating the chicken well.
- Arrange & Bake – Place the chicken in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure the pieces don’t touch. Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness.
- Check for Doneness — Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). If you don’t have one, cut into the thickest part — there should be no pink!
- Rest & Serve – Allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes then slice/serve. This keeps it juicy! Now, eat it as is, or throw it in salads, wraps, or bowls!
