Everyday Baked Chicken

I call this Everyday Baked Chicken because we eat it almost every day. High heat for less time creates the most juicy delicious chicken that can be incorporated into just about any lunch or dinner recipe you can imagine. You could have it for dinner paired with a vegetable and with a yummy pesto sauce or cut it up and use it for chicken fajitas! If you have leftovers, (I always make extra to keep in the fridge) you can cut it up and put it on top of a salad or wrap it into a lunch wrap with hummus and veggies. There are literally endless possibilities.

The first step is this spice mixture that I use so much I actually decided to make a big batch to keep in my kitchen for easy use. I only used one mason jar and one 1/4 cup measuring cup to make a ton of this yummy mixture to keep on hand.

Here’s the lowdown:
