Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with foil or a broiling pan. Brush both sides of the chicken with the olive oil and spice mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the coated chicken breasts.
Broil the chicken in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes on one side.
Carefully flip the chicken breasts and broil for another 7-10 minutes on the other side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the broiled chicken with your choice of Whole30-compliant sides, like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
