Broiled Paprika and Lemon-Pepper Chicken Breasts
Description
These broiled chicken breasts are flavored with a delicious blend of spices--they pair well with many vegetable side dishes.
Ingredients
•
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
•
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
•
2 tablespoons paprika
•
1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning
•
1 tablespoon kosher salt
•
2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
•
1/2 medium onion, chopped
Directions
1
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Grease a broiler pan with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
2
Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Brush with remaining olive oil until coated. Sprinkle each piece evenly on both sides with paprika, lemon-pepper, and salt. Place on the prepared broiler pan, sprinkle garlic over top, and sprinkle onions around the base of the chicken, with several smaller pieces on top.
3
Cook under the preheated broiler for 5 minutes. Flip and continue to cook, checking often, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
