Welcome to my blog, today we are going to make delicious oven baked chicken breasts!

Here are a list of ingredients that we will be needing

• Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken breasts - Use boneless breasts with no skin
  • 2 tsp olive oil - Gives chicken extra flavour

• Seasonings:

  • 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar - Helps caramelize the chicken
  • 1 tsp paprika - Gives a smokey flavour
  • 1 tsp dried oregano - Gives an earthy flavour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder - Adds that delicious touch of garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt - Brings out all the flavours
  • 1/2 tsp pepper - Gives it a mild heat

Now on to the steps to create that juicy chicken!

10. Preheat the oven to 425ºF/220ºC.
11. Pound chicken to 1.5cm/0.6" at the thickest part using a rolling pin, or meat mallet.
12. Mix the paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to form your seasoning.
13. Line tray with foil and baking/parchment paper.
14. Place chicken down on tray and drizzle the chicken with one tsp of olive oil and sprinkle on your seasoning.
15. Bake for for 18 minutes, or until golden brown, or internal temperature is 165ºF/75ºC using a meat thermometer. Buy a meat thermometer here!
16. Remove from oven and immediately transfer chicken to serving plates.
17. Wait 3-5 minutes before serving
18. Enjoy!
