oven baked chicken breasts

Directions :

1. Preheat oven. The ideal temperature to bake chicken is approximately 350-400°F.
2. Using either a rolling pin, a meat tenderizer or your own fist to pound the chicken breasts to the thickness of 0.5” – 0.6”.
3. Mix brown sugar, paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, some splashes of salt and pepper together.
4. Place the chicken breasts upside down on the baking tray lined with baking paper. Use your fingers to rub the olive oil over the breasts. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of oil and sprinkle some seasoning based on your preference. Flip your chicken and repeat the above steps with the other side. The aim of adding olive oil is to give the meat a bit of extra moisture during cooking, thus preventing the outcome from being too stringy and dry. Proper chicken seasoning can liven up the natural bland taste of chicken breasts.
5. Put the tray in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. If you have trust issues with exact timing things, simply pay attention to the chicken’s color: Remove them from the oven as soon as the surface turns golden.
6. Let it sit for about 2 minutes so the juice could settle back in. Serve your well-baked chicken breasts on plates. Garnish them with some splashes of freshly chopped cilantro. Some slices of lemon as toppings could totally worth another sapid dash of flavor.
