Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, hit each chicken breast to about 1 ½ cm at the thickest part. Make they are all the same thickness to ensure even cooking.

Step 4
Line a baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Alternatively, bake directly in a baking dish.

Transfer chicken to the pan and toss with seasoning mix. Drizzle with the oil and rub seasoning all over to coat evenly.
Step 6
Bake chicken in preheated oven for about 18 minutes, or until internal temperature is 165°F (75°C) using an instant meat thermometer.
Step 7
Broil on high during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking until golden and the edges begin to caramelize.
Step 8
Remove pan from oven. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Melt the butter in a small pan. Add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, but don’t let it brown. Combine the garlic butter with any pan juices and drizzle over chicken.
