The Perfect Chicken

This chicken recipe makes THE BEST, most delicious chicken ever! It's great for any recipe that calls for shredded, chopped, or whole chicken. The flavor is just amazing, I guess because you cook it a little on the stove before baking it for awhile, so the juice gets locked in. It comes out tasting fantastic and still juicy! I found it on pinterest, originally from The Recipe Crayon Box.

The Perfect Chicken

3/4 tsp salt

3/4 tsp pepper

3/4 tsp garlic powder

3/4 tsp onion powder
3/4 tsp paprika
2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2-3 tbsp olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Mix spices in a small bowl.
2. Coat chicken breasts in seasoning and rub in.
3. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in frying pan.
4. When oil is very hot, place seasoned chicken in pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. It should turn nicely golden brown.
5. Transfer chicken to casserole dish, cover, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until juices run clear.
6. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before shredding, chopping, etc.
