Ingredients

4 pieces chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a baking dish with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish in a single layer.

Step 4

Drizzle the remaining olive oil evenly over the chicken breasts.

Step 5

Sprinkle the Italian seasoning generously over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.

Step 6

Bake the chicken for 18-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
