Préparation
Étape 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures a consistent environment for the chicken to cook evenly.
Étape 2
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Removing moisture helps to achieve a better sear (a technique where the surface of the food is cooked at high temperature until a browned crust forms).
Étape 3
Mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. This mixture will serve as a flavorful rub for the chicken.
Étape 4
Coat each chicken breast evenly with the seasoning mix. It’s important to cover all sides to infuse the flavors thoroughly.
Étape 5
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking times may vary depending on thickness.
Mon astuce de chef
To ensure juicy chicken, let it rest (allowing it to sit after cooking so juices redistribute) for about 5 minutes before slicing. This little trick can make all the difference !
Pairing Chicken Breast with Wine
A crisp Chardonnay or a light Pinot Noir complements baked chicken beautifully by balancing its lean flavor without overpowering it.
