Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature. For a deeper flavor, you can marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Once marinated, remove the chicken fillets from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the chicken fillets in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the dairy-free oven-baked chicken fillets with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
