👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure a crispier exterior.
2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt to create a flavorful seasoning rub.
3. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.
4. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F) at the thickest part.
6. Remove from the oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for a tender result.
