Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt with parsley flakes
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Place chicken breasts in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil, season with garlic salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Place on a greased sheet pan (covered with foil for easy cleanup, if desired)
  • Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked throughout. When the chicken is fully cooked, the juices will run clear, and the thickest part of the chicken should be at least 165 degrees using a meat thermometer. *Broil for 2-3 minutes more if you want the chicken a little more browned.
  • Let the chicken cool for a few minutes before slicing or cubing to ensure it stays moist and tender.
