Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet or dish. Use a paper towel to pat the chicken dry for better seasoning coverage.
Step 3
Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil, then rub the oil evenly over the surface of each piece.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix well.
Step 5
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts, gently pressing it into the meat.
Step 6
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (73°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for meal prepping.
