Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet or dish. Use a paper towel to pat the chicken dry for better seasoning coverage.
Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil, then rub the oil evenly over the surface of each piece.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix well.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts, gently pressing it into the meat.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (73°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for meal prepping.
