Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and position a rack in the center.
Melt the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan and add the minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Season the chicken evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the warm garlic butter over them.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through to 165°F / 74°C.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
