Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, dried basil, dried oregano, and dried thyme.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a large baking dish.

Pour the olive oil and herb mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 5

Use a pair of tongs to flip the chicken breasts over in the marinade, ensuring both sides are well-seasoned.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil tightly to prevent moisture from escaping.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear when the thickest part is pierced with a knife.
