Baked Chicken Breast (1 – 2 Servings)
INGREDIENTS 1 – 2 chicken breast Olive or avocado oil Kosher salt & pepper ½ teaspoon smoked paprika ½ teaspoon cumin
INSTRUCTIONS 1. Pre-heat oven to 450°F. 2. Drizzle oil on both sides of the chicken breast and season both sides with a generous amount of salt, smoked paprika, and cumin. 3. Allow the chicken breast to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, doing so will help the chicken cook more evenly and maintain a tender and juicy texture. 4. Place the chicken breast on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. 5. Insert a probe thermometer and cook another 5 – 8 minutes, or until the thickest part of the breast measures a temperature of 165°F. 6. Total baking time for the chicken breast will be about 15 – 18 minutes. 7. Remove from oven, allow to rest for 5 minutes with the thermometer still inside, and serve.
