Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and brush with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  2. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  3. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil mixture for a few hours or overnight. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should be 165°F (75°C). Don’t crowd the baking dish; leave space between the chicken breasts for even cooking.
