Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
- 1 bottle olive oil cooking spray
- 1 large lemon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with cooking spray.
Step 2
Place the chicken breast fillets on a clean cutting board. If necessary, use a meat mallet to pound the fillets to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Step 3
Use the olive oil cooking spray to lightly coat both sides of each chicken fillet for a non-stick surface and added moisture.
Step 4
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Then slice the lemon in half and squeeze its juice over the chicken fillets.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 7
Place the seasoned chicken fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove the chicken fillets from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 10
Garnish the chicken with fresh parsley and the reserved lemon zest before serving.
