Ingredients
- 1 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6–8 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler to HIGH and position the oven rack 5–6 inches from the heating element.
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.Next, place them between two sheets of plastic wrap or inside a large zip-top bag, then set them on a cutting board. Gently pound them to an even thickness—around ½ inches is ideal. Lightly rub both sides with olive oil. Lightly grease the broiler pan or wire rack.
- Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over both sides of the chicken.
- Place the chicken on a greased wire rack set over a baking sheet. Broil for 6–8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
If using larger chicken breasts, consider slicing them in half horizontally for more even broiling.
