Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound them to an even thickness with a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

Step 4

Brush the mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.

Step 5

Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.

Step 6

Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 8

While the chicken is baking, combine the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl.

Step 9

After 20 minutes of baking, remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the top of each breast.

Step 10

Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
