Ingredients

Main ingredients

4 pieces fresh chicken breasts The star of the dish.
2 tbsp olive oil or butter For richness.
1 tsp garlic powder For flavor depth.
1 tsp onion powder For flavor depth.
1 tsp paprika For flavor depth.
to taste tsp pepper For flavor depth.
2 tbsp lemon juice Adds freshness.
1 tbsp fresh herbs like parsley or thyme For added flavor.
1/4 cup cheese or breadcrumbs Optional, for a baked crust.

Method

Preparation

Trim the chicken breasts and pat them dry to ensure even cooking.

Marinating

Season the chicken generously with garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add olive oil and lemon juice.

Cooking

Oven: Place chicken breasts in a casserole dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes.
Stovetop: Sear the chicken in a skillet for 6–7 minutes per side until golden.
Grill: For summer recipes, grill the chicken for smoky perfection.

Finishing

Rest the chicken for 5 minutes after cooking to retain juiciness.

Notes

For extra juicy chicken, soak in saltwater for 20 minutes before cooking. Avoid overcooking; use a meat thermometer to check for 165°F (74°C). Resting time is key for juiciness. Can be doubled for larger families or frozen for future use.
