Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure even browning.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Step 6
Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are not touching for even cooking.
Step 7
Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze one half over the chicken breasts to add a fresh citrus flavor, and slice the other half into rounds to place in the baking dish for additional aroma.
Step 8
Roast the chicken in the oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
Step 9
Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional) and serve warm.
