Zutaten

Avocado oil spray

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (8 ounces each)

2 teaspoons onion powder

2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Anweisungen

Preheat your oven to 450°F. Spray a 9 X 13-inch baking dish with oil. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board.

Use a fork to mix the Cajun seasoning ingredients in a small bowl.

Rub the seasoning into the chicken breasts on both sides.

Place the coated chicken pieces in the greased baking dish. Spray their tops with oil. Be generous with the oil - it protects the chicken from drying and the herbs from burning in the hot oven.

Bake until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F in the thickest part. Depending on how hot your oven runs and the size of the chicken pieces, this should take 20-30 minutes. Check on the chicken periodically after the first 20 minutes. If the tops are becoming too dark, cover them loosely with foil.

Once cooked through, place the chicken on a plate, cover it loosely with foil, and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
