Baked Chicken Spice Rub
If you’re like me, you probably have tried chicken breasts a million different ways. Sometimes though, you just want a nicely seasoned baked chicken breast that has good flavor, and isn’t too complicated to make.
I totally feel ya!
We eat lots of boneless/skinless chicken breasts at our house. After perfecting the cooking method to get nice, juicy chicken breasts, I wanted a simple Baked Chicken Spice Rub that I could keep in the pantry. You know, just rub it on and pop the chicken in the oven and move on with dinner!
After a few variations, Paul and I decided we liked this version of Baked Chicken Spice Rub the most out of all of them. So I’m sharing it with you! I think the smoked paprika really makes it. If you don’t like smoked paprika, just use regular paprika.
You should have enough from this recipe of Baked Chicken Spice Rub for 16 average sized skinless/boneless chicken breasts. You can use this chicken spice rub on chicken legs or thighs as well as chicken breasts. It is also delicious on pork.

I was looking for a quick and simple way to add some zip to my boneless skinless chicken breast dinner. I’m glad I came across your recipe! I baked the chicken breasts at 400° in a mixture of evoo and butter. I rubbed both the top and bottom sides with your rub and basted the breasts as they rested. I didn’t think I would eat an entire breast, as they were a bit big, but that was not the case! I’ll be mixing up a full batch of rub to have on hand. Thanks for a quick and tasty dinner!!
