Ingredients

Scale

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
4 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and coat a baking dish with butter or oil.
Make the garlic butter by melting the butter and mixing in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Arrange the chicken breasts in the baking dish and pour the garlic butter mixture over them.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Rest the chicken for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped parsley before slicing.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. Resting the chicken helps retain moisture.
