Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 25 mins Ready Time: 40 mins


• preheat convection oven to 400 degrees f (200 degrees c).
• rub chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with salt and seasoning. place chicken in a broiler pan.
• bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. flip chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes more. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees f (74 degrees c).
