Baked BBQ Chicken Breast

• portions: 4 servings
• temps actif: 15 minutes
• temps total: 30 minutes

Ingrédients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast (about 2 pounds)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons kosher salt

½ teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup barbecue sauce (divided)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven – Set the oven rack to the middle position. Preheat to 425ºF (218ºC). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Lightly grease with oil to prevent sticking.

Flatten the Pieces – Thoroughly dry each chicken breast with a paper towel. Place one breast between two plastic sheets or inside a large plastic bag and use a meat tenderizer to pound to an even thickness, about ¾" thick. Repeat with the remaining pieces.

Season the Surface – In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Add the chicken to the seasoning mix. Turn to coat evenly.

Add Barbecue Sauce – Add ½ cup of the barbeque sauce. Turn to coat evenly. Transfer the chicken to the greased baking sheet.

Bake – Bake for 10 minutes, then brush the remaining barbecue sauce on the surface. Continue baking until the internal temperature reaches 160 to 165ºF (71 to 74ºC) on a meat thermometer, about 4 to 7 minutes.

Serve – Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. If desired, serve with additional barbecue on the side.
