A quick and delicious recipe for juicy oven-baked chicken breasts, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.

Scale

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme until well combined.
Rub this seasoning mix all over the chicken breasts to coat them thoroughly.
Arrange the seasoned chicken in a baking dish, ensuring they’re not overcrowded.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

For juiciness, consider marinating the chicken in the seasoning mix for a couple of hours or overnight. Use a meat thermometer for perfect cooking.
