Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the seasoning and mix well.
If the chicken breast is thicker than 1 inch, pound or butterfly it to achieve a uniform 1 inch thickness.
Lightly brush the chicken with olive oil and rub the seasoning on all sides.
Arrange the chicken breasts in a baking dish, ensuring they do not touch or only barely touch.
Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165˚F.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving, slicing, dicing, or shredding.

Notes

Pound the chicken breasts to ensure even cooking.
For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
