Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Equipment

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Blender
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients: salt, black pepper, onion powder, poultry seasoning, paprika, and chicken. Ensure everything is within reach for an efficient cooking process.
  2. In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, onion powder, poultry seasoning, and paprika. Stir the ingredients together until evenly mixed. It should smell aromatic and inviting.
  3. Prepare your chicken breasts. Take a clean paper towel and blot both sides of the chicken to dry them completely. This step is important as it helps the seasoning stick better.
  4. Next, take a foil-lined baking sheet and apply a light spray of nonstick cooking spray. This will prevent the chicken from sticking while it cooks.
  5. Sprinkle the seasoning blend generously on both sides of the chicken. Don’t be shy! Make sure every inch is coated to ensure maximum flavor.
  6. Now, place the seasoned chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Position them a little apart to ensure even cooking.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, and once it's ready, slide the baking sheet into the oven. Set a timer for 30 to 45 minutes.
  8. Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer. It should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit to be safe for consumption.
  9. When done, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful bite.
  10. Finally, serve the chicken warm or allow it to cool. You can cube it for salads or store it in the refrigerator for meal prep.
