Baked Chicken Breast

INGREDIENTS

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil (I had avocado oil)

1 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp chili powder

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pound chicken breasts lightly so they are of even thickness. (I didn't pound mine, just stuck the meat thermometer in the thickest part and set the alarm for 165 degrees F.)

Pour olive oil in a 13" x 9" baking dish. Lightly dredge the chicken through to coat it, then place chicken breasts side by side in the dish. 

In a small bowl, whisk the other ingredients. Sprinkle seasoning mixture over both sides of the chicken and rub it in with your hands. Make sure chicken breasts aren't overlapping. 

Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 mins, 160-170 degrees F or until juices run clear. 

Cover with foil and allow to rest for 5-10 mins. while juices settle before slicing.
