Easy Baked Chicken Breasts
These are seriously the JUICIEST chicken breasts I have made. Made with a simple 6-ingredient marinade, it's ready in under 45 minutes. My wife usually HATES chicken breasts, but she devoured these.
Ingredients
- 4 medium-large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pound the chicken breasts between plastic wrap until they're even thickness. Transfer to a large bowl.
- To the bowl, add the olive oil, lemon juice, and spices. Massage all over the chicken. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes (but ideally a few hours)
- Place the chicken on the parchment-lined baking sheet with some space between each piece.
- Bake for about 18-22 minutes or until chicken reaches 150°F on an instant-read thermometer. Rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
