  • Total Time: 30min
  • Yield: 4

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 chicken breasts (150–180g / 5–6 oz each)

  • 2 tsp olive oil

For the Seasoning Rub:

  • 1 ½ tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 tsp dried oregano (or thyme)

  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  • Prepare Chicken: Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This ensures better seasoning adhesion and caramelization.

  • Season: Drizzle chicken with olive oil and rub evenly on all sides. Mix the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl, then coat each breast thoroughly.

  • Bake: Place the seasoned chicken on the tray. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  • Rest: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This keeps the juices locked in.

  • Serve: Pair with roasted veggies, salads, or rice for a wholesome meal.
