Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Step 4
Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish and brush both sides generously with the marinade. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated.
Step 5
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. This helps retain its juices.
Step 7
Serve warm with a side of vegetables, salad, or rice for a complete and healthy meal.
