1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking tray by lining it with aluminum foil and parchment paper.
2
Using a meat mallet, tenderize the chicken breasts by pounding them until they are 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) thick at the thickest part. This ensures even cooking and tender chicken.
3
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be your seasoning mix.
4
Place the chicken breasts upside down on the prepared baking tray.
5
Drizzle 1 tsp of olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub it in using your fingers.
6
Sprinkle half of the seasoning mix on the chicken breasts, ensuring to cover as much surface area as possible.
7
Flip the chicken breasts and repeat steps 5 and 6.
8
Bake the chicken breasts for 18 minutes or until the surface turns golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
9
Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Allow the chicken to rest for 3-5 minutes.
10
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve.
