This recipe provides a simple and delicious way to prepare baked BBQ chicken breasts, perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The chicken is seasoned with a flavorful spice rub, baked until almost done, then coated in BBQ sauce and finished in the oven for a tender and juicy result.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with the seasoning mix.
  5. Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is mostly cooked through (internal temperature around 150°F/65°C).
  7. Remove chicken from oven and brush generously with BBQ sauce on all sides.
  8. Return to oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in the seasoning rub for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Serve with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad.
