Preheat oven to 450℉.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pound for Even Cooking 🔨
Use a meat mallet to pound chicken breasts to uniform ¼-inch thickness, ensuring they cook evenly and stay moist throughout the baking process.
Double-Dredge for Extra Crispiness 🥖
After coating with your seasoning mixture, lightly spray with cooking oil before baking to achieve a golden, crispy exterior that rivals pan-fried chicken.
Bloom Your Spices First 🌶️
Mix your paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning with a tablespoon of olive oil before applying to create a flavorful paste that adheres better and distributes evenly.
Bake on a Preheated Sheet Pan 🍳
Place your baking sheet in the oven while preheating, then carefully transfer cutlets to the hot surface to create an immediate sear that locks in juices and enhances browning.
Check Internal Temperature at 165°F 🌡️
Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part to verify doneness at exactly 165°F, preventing dry, overcooked chicken while ensuring food safety.
