Ingredients
- 3 medium chicken breasts 4-5 oz each
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Pound chicken to 0.6" at the thickest part with a meat mallet, rolling pin, your fist or even a heavy cast iron skillet. This step will help the chicken to cook evenly.
- Mix all the spices (paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper) in a small bowl.
- Line baking dish or roasting pan with parchment paper. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer.
- Pour olive oil on top of the chicken breast, rub over with your fingers and sprinkle the seasonings on top of the chicken. Do step 5 on both sides.
- Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until it gets the internal temperature of 165˚F. To know exactly when it is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer.
- Remove from oven and transfer chicken breast to a cutting board. Allow cooling down for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Pounding the chicken helps it cook through quickly and evenly so the exterior doesn’t dry out before the interior cooks.
- Allowing the chicken to rest before cutting will allow the moisture to redistribute inside the chicken breasts.
- Pat the chicken dry before you season it so the oil and seasoning stick better.
- To store: Store leftover chicken breasts in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
- To reheat: You can reheat the chicken in a microwave when ready to eat. You can also eat chicken cold.
- To freeze: You can freeze chicken breasts in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.

You stated “According to the USDA, you can keep cooked chicken is safe to eat for 3-4 days if it is properly stored in a sealed container. It will last for about 3 months in the fridge.” So bit confused. 3-4days safe to eat. So why store it up to 3 months in fridge??
Thanks for pointing it out. We just fixed it. It’s good in the freezer up to 3 months.
