- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or nonstick spray.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not overlapping.

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts, rubbing it in gently to ensure it adheres.
Top each chicken breast with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and texture.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
