Baked Chicken Breast (Smoked Paprika Rub)
Efficient Meals, Healthy, Main Dishes
Ingredients
2 lbs boneless & skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano, rosemary, and/or basil
1/2 tsp salt
Ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Combine oil, spices, herbs, and seasoning in a small bowl and mix to form a paste. Rub over chicken. This will make less paste than other rubs but smoked paprika is relatively powerful per unit volume.
Place chicken breasts in a baking dish or cast iron pan with sufficient space to avoid steaming each other. Bake at 450 until internal temperature is above 150, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and rest to allow them to finish cooking.
Serve.
