Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken breast fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Brush the seasoning mixture liberally over both sides of each chicken fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the seasoned chicken fillets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the chicken fillets in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Garnish the chicken fillets with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken fillets hot, paired with your choice of vegetables or grains for a complete meal.
