Simple Split Chicken Breast

Need a super easy dinner idea during this busy season?? Great, then keep reading.

I don't even remember where I found this recipe, but it's now one of my last-minute go-to recipes. It's actually really budget friendly as well. Watch your circulars. Most stores will do a major sale on bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts. I think the lowest I ever found was $.77/lb. Still good, right?

Anyways, it takes about 5 minutes to prepare, and it smells divine while cooking.

Simple Split Chicken Breasts


Ingredients
  • 2-3 lbs split chicken breasts (bone-in)
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (this is important, don't sub for regular table salt)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
Directions

Preheat oven to 350.
(To minimize the risk of transferring bacteria, I go ahead and pour olive oil in a small bowl, then mix the seasonings in a small bowl. Also, go ahead and get your roasting pan...with rack inserted...out next to the sink.)
Wash the chicken and pat dry with a paper towel. Use your hands to coat the skin lightly with olive oil. Season (on both sides) with the kosher salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Roast on a rack or tin broiler for 1 hour. Let sit 10 minutes and serve.
