Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover them with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to gently pound each piece of chicken to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly onto both sides of the chicken breasts and let them rest for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add a tiny drizzle of olive oil (if necessary) to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken fillets in the pan and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is fully cooked.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice for added brightness.
Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken fillets hot alongside your favorite side dish, such as a salad, roasted veggies, or steamed rice.
