📋 Directions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper. - Prepare the Chicken:
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides with olive oil. - Season the Chicken:
In a small bowl, mix paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Generously season both sides of the chicken breasts with the spice mixture. - Bake the Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. - Prepare the Garlic Butter Topping:
While the chicken bakes, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese in a small bowl. - Add the Topping:
Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon the garlic butter Parmesan mixture over each fillet. Spread it evenly. - Broil for a Crispy Finish:
Turn the oven to broil. Place the chicken back in the oven for 2–3 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and golden. - Garnish and Serve:
Remove the chicken from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
