Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler to high heat and position the rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Step 4
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Turn the chicken to coat it thoroughly with the marinade.
Step 5
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
Step 6
Line a broiler pan or a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place them on the prepared broiler pan. Discard any leftover marinade.
Step 8
Broil the chicken for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the soy-free broiled chicken with your choice of side dishes such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
