Ingredients

Oven Baked Chicken Breast

2 tablespoon olive oil divided
4 chicken breast halves boneless, skinless
Sea Salt and Freshly Cracked Black Pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon rosemary or Italian Seasoning

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Brush chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season all sides of chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and rosemary.
In a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
When the skillet is hot, add the seasoned chicken to brown. Cook for about 2 minutes. Turn and cook for another 2 minutes.
If you are using a cast iron or oven-safe skillet, place the skillet with the chicken in the preheated oven and bake at 400 degrees F. for 20 minutes. If your skillet is not oven-proof, transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
When the chicken is cooked, remove from oven, and let rest for about 10 minutes.
