Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a smooth marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more enhanced flavors.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place the pieces in the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The top should be golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of steamed vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
