Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400˚F.
Combine all ingredients for the all-purpose chicken seasoning in a small bowl and mix well.
If the chicken breasts are thicker than 1 inch, pound or butterfly them to ensure they are uniform in thickness.
Brush the chicken breasts lightly with olive oil and rub the seasoning mixture on all sides.
Arrange the chicken breasts in a baking dish, ensuring they do not touch.
Bake the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F, about 20-25 minutes.
Let the chicken sit for 5 minutes before serving, slicing, dicing, or shredding.

Notes

For best results, use fresh spices for enhanced flavor.
Consider marinating the chicken for a few hours for even more tender meat.
This chicken pairs well with a variety of side dishes, such as vegetables or rice.
