Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup low-fat mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a smooth marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more enhanced flavors.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place the pieces in the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The top should be golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot with your choice of steamed vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
