Baked chicken breasts with olive oil is a simple, healthy, and delicious recipe perfect for any meal. This recipe uses minimal ingredients, allowing the natural flavors of the chicken to shine through, while olive oil and a blend of spices provide a flavorful twist. It's ideal for both novice cooks and experienced chefs looking for a quick, nutritious meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the oil and seasonings adhere better.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts.
- Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder evenly over the chicken.
Use your hands or a pair of tongs to mix everything together until the chicken breasts are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken breasts reaches 165°F (74°C). The cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts.
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken even more flavorful and juicy.
Serve the baked chicken breasts warm alongside your favorite sides or slice them up for salads, sandwiches, or wraps.
Tips:
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Marinating the chicken in the spice mixture for 30 minutes to an hour can enhance the flavors.
- For juicier chicken, consider using bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts.
- Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to redistribute the juices.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving for a bright, zesty finish.
With minimal preparation time and easy steps, baked chicken breasts with olive oil is a go-to recipe for any occasion. The blend of spices enhances the natural flavors of the chicken, ensuring a tasty and satisfying dish. Serve it with your favorite sides or a simple salad for a complete meal that your family and friends will love.
