  • Pound each chicken breast even with a rolling pin or meat mallet for even cooking.
  • Mix brown sugar, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Line a baking tray with baking paper and place chicken breasts on it.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and rub to coat both sides.
  • Sprinkle seasoning evenly on both sides and rub in.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until internal temp hits 75C (165F).
  • Let chicken rest 5 minutes before sprinkling with chopped parsley and serving.

Notes

Letting the chicken rest after baking helps redistribute the juices for a delicious, moist bite. This dish stores well and makes a great meal prep option.
