Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Thinly slice the chicken breast into strips, approximately 1-inch wide.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are thoroughly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Arrange the marinated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165Β°F (74Β°C).
To achieve a slightly crispy exterior, turn the oven to broil during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the chicken strips from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with extra herbs and lemon wedges on the side for added zest.
