Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

Pat your chicken breast dry then season both sides of the breast with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, to taste.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place directly into the HOT skillet skin side down, and cook for 4 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and flips easily. Flip the chicken over and place it into the preheated oven.

Step 4

Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast reads 165 degrees.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing & serving or storing. Enjoy.
