Instructions

  1. To brine the chicken breasts, stir the salt into the water in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts, submerging them. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature, or for up to a day in the refrigerator.

  2. Rinse the brine from the chicken, then pat dry.

  3. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C).

  4. Place the chicken into a baking dish large enough for the pieces to fit without touching, or just barely touching. Brush both sides with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, sea salt, paprika, and black pepper.

  5. Bake for 16-22 minutes, until firm and internal temperature reaches 162-165 degrees measured with an accurate thermometer. (Internal temperature will rise another few degrees when resting.)

  6. Cover with foil and rest for 5 minutes before serving or slicing.
