Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 5-6 ounces each
2 Tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon ground thyme
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray the baking pan with non-stick spray.
Coat both sides of the chicken breasts with the olive oil.
Sprinkle the thyme, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt on the chicken pieces.
Place the seasoned chicken into the baking pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is at 165°F.
Remove chicken and let rest 5 minutes to cool. This lets the juices set and chicken will be juicy.
Slice and serve.

Notes

Variation: For every pound of chicken breasts use a teaspoon of any of your favorite spice seasonings such as Cajun Seasoning, Homemade Seasoning Salt, Greek, Mexican, or herbs de Provence.
