Discover the tastiest chicken breast recipes that are moist, flavorful, and easy to make! From grilled and baked to pan-fried and stuffed, our chicken recipes are perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a healthy meal prep.

Ingredients
  • 4 Chicken Breasts (150 – 180g / 5 – 6 oz each)
  • 2 tsp Olive oil
    • Seasoning
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano (thyme or other herb of choice)
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Each Salt and Pepper
    • Garnish, optional
  • Chopped Parsley (Finely)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 425°F (ca. 218 °C)/220°C (200°C fan).
  2. 2
    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).
  3. 3
    Mix seasoning.
  4. 4
    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.
  5. 5
    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.
  6. 6
    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.
  7. 7
    Remove from oven and immediately transfer chicken to serving plates.
  8. 8
    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.
