Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the chicken breasts: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps the seasoning stick and gives the chicken a better texture when baked.
- Season the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil and rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
- Bake the chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t touching. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer.
- Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
