Broiled Paprika and Lemon-Pepper Chicken Breasts

Recipe View 2 mins Prepare the Broiler: Position an oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler element. Preheat the broiler to high. Lightly grease a broiler pan with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 3 mins Season the Chicken: Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each chicken breast with the remaining olive oil. Evenly sprinkle paprika, lemon-pepper seasoning, and kosher salt over both sides of the chicken, ensuring a uniform coating. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Broil the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the prepared broiler pan. Sprinkle the chopped garlic evenly over the top of the chicken. Scatter the chopped onions around the base of the chicken, reserving a few smaller pieces to place directly on top of the breasts. (2 minutes)

Recipe View 1 mins Cook and Finish: Broil the chicken under the preheated broiler for 5 minutes. Flip the chicken breasts and continue to broil, checking frequently to prevent burning, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). This should take approximately 5 to 10 more minutes. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 15 mins Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the broiler and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken breast.
