For 4 servings
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken, rub it in, and then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on all sides.
Arrange the seasoned chicken in the prepared baking dish in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven. Brush about half of the BBQ sauce generously over the top of each chicken breast.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part. Brush with the remaining BBQ sauce in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
