Instructions
Preheat and prepare
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pound and season the chicken
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about three quarters of an inch. Rub each breast with olive oil then coat evenly with the combined spice mixture on all sides.
Arrange on baking sheet
Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet with at least one inch of space between each piece. Do not stack or overlap them as this will cause steaming instead of roasting.
Bake until cooked through
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part for an accurate reading.
Rest and store
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest on the pan for 5 minutes before slicing or storing. Divide into meal prep containers and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
