Preparation
1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. This helps them crisp up nicely.
3
Lightly brush or rub each chicken breast with olive oil. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
4
Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
5
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). Halfway through baking (around 10 minutes), brush the chicken breasts evenly with the BBQ sauce.
6
If desired, add broccoli florets to the baking sheet during the last 10-15 minutes of baking, tossing them lightly with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
7
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps keep the chicken juicy. Serve immediately with the roasted broccoli.
