Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish or sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the seasoning mix over each piece.

Step 4

Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Brush a generous layer of BBQ sauce on top of each piece.

Step 5

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the oven and brush another layer of BBQ sauce on top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after removing it from the oven. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and tender meat.

Step 8

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, or coleslaw.
