    Ingredients for baked thin chicken

    Thin Chicken Breast: You can find precut, thinly sliced chicken breast next to regular chicken breast in the grocery store. You can also butterfly a regular chicken breast. Watch this video to see how it's done.

    Seasoning- My go-to chicken seasoning blend is smoked paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

    You can also use pre-made seasoning mixes like cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, BBQ rub, or poultry seasoning.

    Olive Oil- You will need to coat the chicken in oil to help it stay juicy, develop some color, and help the spices stick to the chicken.
