Chicken is the workhorse of the home kitchen, and this recipe proves that familiar does not have to mean boring. This seasoned oven baked chicken breast transforms an everyday protein into something genuinely crave-worthy — the kind of meal your family will request by name and that you can confidently add to your regular rotation.

Position your oven rack in the center for even heat distribution, and let the oven preheat fully before anything goes in — this is especially important for achieving a crisp, golden exterior. Add the garlic after the other aromatics have softened — it burns faster than onions and can turn bitter if it hits high heat for too long.

This recipe scales easily for larger groups and leftovers reheat well for lunches throughout the week. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your taste — cooking is always better when you make a recipe your own. Pair it with a simple side salad or your favorite grain for a complete meal.

Instructions

Prep: Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
Flatten: Place chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin or the flat side of a mallet, pound chicken to about 0.5 - 0.75 inch thickness. Rub olive oil all over flattened chicken breasts.
Season: Combine all remaining ingredients EXCEPT for butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle all over chicken, then lightly rub it in.
Bake: Place seasoned chicken in prepared casserole dish. Top each chicken breast with a slice of butter. Bake at 400°F until internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 18-20 minutes. Finish chicken under broiler for 1-3 minutes, until nicely browned. Serve immediately.
