Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 to 8 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne.
  2. Place frozen breasts on a lined baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and rub the spice mix all over.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through.
  4. Check the thickest part with a thermometer; it should read 165°F. Add 5 minutes more if needed.
  5. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve.

Notes

For the most even cooking, choose breasts that are similar in size. If your chicken breasts release a lot of liquid during baking, just blot the baking sheet with a paper towel before the final rest, it keeps the exterior from getting soggy.
