1
Preheat oven to 425°F and line the baking sheet with foil and parchment paper.
2
Trim any membranes or fat from the breasts with a knife. Wrap the breasts in plastic wrap and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet, rolling pin, or the back of the saucepan to an even thickness.
3
In a small bowl, mix in all the seasoning ingredients: light brown sugar, cumin, paprika, ancho chili pepper, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
4
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a large baking sheet.
5
Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle and rub both sides evenly with homemade chicken seasoning.
6
Bake for about 15-18 minutes depending on the thickness or until the chicken is cooked through, until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of meat reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
7
Remove the cooked chicken breast from the oven then transfer to a clean plate. Serve and enjoy!
