  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or your preferred cooking oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: hot sauce or your favorite marinade for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces with olive oil and seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the seasoned chicken evenly in a single layer.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and chicken is golden brown. For extra crunch, broil for 2-3 minutes, keeping an eye to prevent burning.
  5. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and sides.

  • Reheat in microwave or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes for crispy results.
  • Freeze leftovers in sealed containers for longer storage.
