Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler and place the rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and ground black pepper.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Drizzle the chicken with lemon juice for added flavor.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 5 minutes on one side.
Flip the chicken over and broil for an additional 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is golden brown on top.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot as a main course, paired with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or rice.
