Ingredients
Scale
- Main Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Flavor Boosters:
- 1.5 tsp paprika (edelsüß)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 0.75 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Finishing Touches:
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Vorbereitung ist alles:: First things first, preheat that oven to 200°C (400°F). While it’s getting nice and hot, grab a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. This little step? A lifesaver for cleanup, honestly. I’ve forgotten it more times than I care to admit, and scrubbing baked-on chicken bits is *not* my idea of fun. Pat your chicken breasts super dry with paper towels; this helps them get a better sear and keeps them from steaming. You’ll thank me for this later!
- Würzen mit Liebe:: Now, get out a medium bowl. Drizzle your chicken breasts with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Use your hands – yes, your hands! – to really rub those spices into every nook and cranny. I love this part; it smells so good already! Make sure they’re coated evenly. I used to just sprinkle from above, and let’s just say some parts were very bland, while others were… intense. Mix it well!
- Ab auf’s Blech:: Arrange your seasoned chicken breasts on that prepared baking sheet. Make sure they have a little space between them; don’t overcrowd the pan, or they’ll steam instead of bake beautifully. I always try to leave an inch or two between each piece. I once crammed them all on, thinking I was saving time, and they just turned out kind of pale and sad. Not the golden-brown Ofen Gebackene Hähnchenbrust Abendessen we’re aiming for!
- Backzeit ist Wohlfühlzeit:: Pop that baking sheet into your preheated oven. Now, for the magic! Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). This is where a meat thermometer becomes your best friend. Seriously, I used to guess, and let’s just say a few chicken breasts met an untimely, dry end. Don’t be like past Mama Tessa. Check that temp! The kitchen will start to smell absolutely divine, I promise.
- Ruhe bewahren:: Once cooked, take the chicken out of the oven. This part is crucial, don’t skip it! Cover the baking sheet loosely with foil and let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making your Ofen Gebackene Hähnchenbrust Abendessen incredibly tender and juicy. I know it’s tempting to cut right in, but resist! I’ve learned this the hard way too many times, ending up with dry, sad chicken.
- Der letzte Schliff:: Slice your rested chicken breasts against the grain for maximum tenderness. If you’re feeling fancy, or just want a little extra zing, squeeze a fresh lemon wedge over each serving. Garnish with some fresh parsley if you have it. It just makes it look so pretty, doesn’t it? Serve immediately with your favorite sides. Enjoy your perfectly cooked Ofen Gebackene Hähnchenbrust Abendessen!
