Ingredients You'll Need

• 2 Tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Teaspoon Paprika- use smoked paprika to add a deeper layer of smokey flavor.
• 1 Teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 Teaspoon Garlic powder

How To Bake Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts

Step 1: Prep

Preheat oven to 360°F and line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the chicken breasts in half by length. 

Step 2: Season The Chicken

In a mixing bowl, add the chicken breast, olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, and garlic powder. Toss to coat the chicken completely. Place the chicken onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Cook The Chicken

Bake the chicken for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and bake for another 3-4 minutes. Check to make sure the internal temperature is 165°F with a meat thermometer. Serve chicken warm with fresh salad or any desired side dishes.

Expert Tips 

• Make sure that you cut the chicken into an even thickness. This will ensure the chicken breasts all cook at the same time.
• If your chicken fillets are not even, you can use a meat mallet to thin it out. 
• Thoroughly coat the chicken on both sides with the seasonings. 
• Pan-fry the chicken for a minute on each side before baking if you want a caramelized crust to add even more flavor.

What To Serve With Thin Sliced Chicken Breast Recipes

These thin sliced chicken breasts are delicious all on their own. However, to make this recipe a complete meal, you'll need to add some sides. Here are some easy-to-make side dishes the whole family will love!

• White rice and brussels sprouts

How To Store and Reheat Baked Chicken Breasts

Store the leftover chicken breasts in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To keep for longer, you can store the chicken in a freezer-safe bag for up to 4 months.

My go-to way to reheat leftover chicken is to add a bit of chicken broth to a pan set over medium heat. Let the cutlets cook for a few minutes on each side until the chicken is heated thoroughly, and enjoy again!
