Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center of the oven.

Pound the chicken breasts between plastic wrap to an even thickness. Place the chicken breast on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between them for the air to circulate.

Brush with oil – Pat dry the chicken again if needed, then brush all sides with oil, melted butter, or use an oil spray.

Season – in a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, paprika, and ground black pepper. Sprinkle the mixture all over the chicken.

Baking

Bake at 400˚F for about 18-22 minutes (*See time chart below) or until chicken reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer. Rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
