Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure even browning.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning mixture.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are not touching for even cooking.
Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze one half over the chicken breasts to add a fresh citrus flavor, and slice the other half into rounds to place in the baking dish for additional aroma.
Roast the chicken in the oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional) and serve warm.
