Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to a roaring 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a sturdy baking sheet with heavy-duty foil for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the Sazonador Total, granulated garlic, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are lightly coated. Then, generously sprinkle the spice mixture over all sides of the chicken, pressing gently to adhere. (10 minutes)

03

Step
25 mins

Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between them. Slide the sheet into the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. This should take approximately 20-25 minutes. For ultimate precision, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

04

Step
10 mins

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a crucial 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in maximum tenderness and flavor.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the olive oil and spices for at least 30 minutes before baking. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice after baking adds a bright, zesty finish.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different spice blends! Smoked paprika, onion powder, or even a pinch of cayenne pepper can add a unique twist.
To ensure even cooking, use chicken breasts that are similar in size and thickness. Pound thicker breasts to an even thickness if necessary.
