Video
- Preheat oven to 425°F (ca. 218 °C)/220°C (200°C fan).
- Pound chicken to 1.5cm / 0.6″ at the thickest part—using a rolling pin, meat mallet, or even your fist (key tip for even cooking + tender chicken).
- Mix seasoning.
- Line tray with foil and baking / parchment paper. Place chicken upside down on tray. Drizzle chicken with about 1 tsp oil. Rub the oil over the chicken with your fingers. Sprinkle with seasoning.
- Flip chicken. Drizzle with 1 tsp. oil, rub with your fingers, and sprinkle with seasoning, covering as much of the surface area as you can.
- Bake for 18 minutes, or until the surface is golden per photos and video, or until the internal temperature is 165°F (ca. 74 °C)/75°C using a meat thermometer.
- Remove from oven and immediately transfer chicken to serving plates.
- Wait 3 – 5 minutes before serving, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. The dish is pictured alongside a side dish of garlic butter rice with kale.

Note
- If your breast is huge, e.g., 250g / 8oz+ each, cut them in half horizontally to form 2 thin steaks and skip the pounding. Make sure they are no thicker than 1.5cm / 0.6″ thick at the thickest point—if they are, pound using a fist. You can also prepare this using boneless, skinless thigh fillets. Follow the recipe but cook for 25 minutes for small / medium thighs and 30 minutes for larger ones.
