Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Brush or rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the chicken moist during cooking.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish, if desired, and serve warm.
