Ingredients
  

  • 3 large chicken breasts, sliced in half
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • Lemon wedges to serve optional
  • Fresh parsley optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Starting with a hot oven ensures even cooking throughout.

  3. Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or lightly oiled. Bake for 15–20 minutes, depending on thickness.
  4. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of each piece reaches 165°F.
  5. Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
