Ingredients

  Spices

  ½ tbsp or 3g

• Garlic powder

  Spices

  ¼ tsp or 0.8g

• Parsley

  Spices, dried

  ¼ tsp or 0.1g

• Salt

  Table

  ³⁄₁₆ tsp or 1g

• Olive oil

  Salad or cooking

  ¾ tbsp or 10g

• Chicken breast

  Broilers or fryers, meat only, raw

  2 breast fillet or 236g

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and olive oil to create a smooth paste. Brush each chicken breast with an even layer of the paprika paste. Let stand for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavor to infuse the meat.
2. In the meantime, set the oven to broil and place a rack in the upper third of the oven. Place the chicken breasts on a foil-lined baking sheet. Place the chicken under the broiler for about 7 to 8 minutes, or until a crust begins to form around the edges. Flip the breasts and cook them under the broiler for further 7 to 8 minutes, until cooked through (the temperature should register 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.)
3. Cooking time depends on how big the chicken breasts are and how hot is your oven, the most important thing is that the chicken is cooked through.
4. Once cooked, let the breasts rest for a minute or two before serving to allow the juices to evenly distribute through the meat. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
5. Enjoy!
