Equipment

  • baking dish
  • meat thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups warm water (for brine)
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt (for brine)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Dissolve kosher salt in warm water in a large bowl. Add chicken breasts and let sit for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • Remove chicken from brine, rinse with cold water, and pat completely dry with paper towels.
  • Place chicken in a baking dish. Brush with olive oil/butter. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, paprika, and pepper.

Notes

Resting the chicken for 5-10 minutes after baking is essential for retaining juices.
