Equipment

  • Casserole dish or deep baking sheet
  • Meat thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 1.3 lbs (approx. 600 g) chicken breast fillets - about 2 to 3 pieces
  • 4 tablespoons oil
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon salt - to taste
  • 2 teaspoons sweet paprika powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon hot paprika powder or cayenne pepper
  • A pinch of curry powder

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel, but do not wash it.
  • Mix oil and spices to form a marinade. Place the chicken breast fillets in a baking dish and rub them all over with the marinade.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) with a fan setting (convection mode) and bake for about 20-25 minutes. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size of the chicken breasts and your oven.
    Note: The chicken is done when the juices run clear. The thickest part should show a whitish, fibrous texture. For accuracy, use a meat thermometer; the chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F - 175°F (75°C - 80°C) at its thickest part.
