Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a clean work surface or cutting board. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the chicken breasts, ensuring even coverage.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. When the pan is hot, sear the chicken breasts on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables, rice, or a simple salad.
