Ingredients

• Dry Rub:
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
• 1 tsp black pepper or to taste
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Baked Chicken:
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 lbs chicken breast boneless and skinless (about 4)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat your oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C).

In a small bowl whisk all the dry rub ingredients together; set aside.
Toss chicken breasts with olive oil and the dry rub.
Place on a light greased baking dish and transfer to the oven. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes. The breast is cooked when it's completely opaque all the way through and registers 165 to 170 F (75 C) on an instant-read thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
