• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder


• 1/2 teaspoon salt


• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil (for easy cleanup).


• If chicken breasts are thicker in some parts than others, pound them to an even thickness using a rolling pin or meat mallet. (Place chicken in a zip-top bag or between two sheets of parchment before pounding.)

• Combine the spice rub ingredients in a small bowl.

• Remove the pan from the oven, loosely cover with foil and let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
