Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the chicken breast on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between them for the air to circulate.
Step 2
Pat the chicken breasts with paper towels before adding the seasoning. This will help it stick better. Brush the chicken breasts on all sides with oil (or melted butter), then sprinkle on paprika, garlic-parsley salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Bake for about 20 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F on a thermometer.

Make-Ahead Tips:
To Store in the Refrigerator
To Freeze:
Transfer the chicken to freezer-safe containers or airtight packaging and store for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Reheat in the oven:
Set the chicken breasts in a baking dish or casserole dish, add 3 Tbsp water to the dish, cover with foil, and bake at 350°F for about 20-25 min until the internal temp reaches 165˚F.
Reheat in the air fryer:
You can also reheat the chicken breast in the air fryer at 350˚F. Brush both sides with olive oil and air fry for about 6 min per side, or until it reaches 165˚F.
