Easy Oven-Baked Chicken Breasts

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the middle position.
  2. Pound the thick end of each breast with a meat mallet until the breasts are an even 3/4 inch thick.
  3. Pat the chicken dry and set it in a 9x13 baking dish or on a lined sheet pan. Drizzle with the oil and turn to coat.
  4. Stir the salt, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and pepper together, then sprinkle it over both sides of the chicken.
  5. Bake until the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C). Start checking at 16 minutes.
  6. Let the chicken rest in the pan before slicing so it keeps its juices.
  7. Cook to 165°F inside (check with a thermometer).
