Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Brush both sides of each chicken breast with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Optionally, drizzle the chicken with a little lemon juice before serving for added brightness.
Serve as-is or pair with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
