Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix the seasoning: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the chicken: Ensure each chicken breast is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture for maximum flavor.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Bake the chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Rest and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
Try marinating the chicken before cooking for extra flavor. Let it rest after baking to lock in juiciness.
