Ingredients  

  • 2 lbs. Chicken Breasts
  • 3 Tbsps. Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cut chicken breasts into uniform pieces (I usually cut some of my pieces in half lengthwise) and pound with a meat tenderizer until similar thickness.
  • Place on a foil-lined cookie sheet.
  • Drizzle the chicken with half of the olive oil and sprinkle with half of the seasonings.
  • Flip the chicken over and repeat with remaining oil and seasonings.
  • Rub seasonings in with your fingers, making sure the seasonings and olive oil are evenly distributed.
  • Let chicken rest around 15 minutes while the oven preheats to 450 degrees.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
  • For optimal tenderness, let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
