Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Coat the chicken breasts with the seasoning mixture, ensuring they are well covered.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  2. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. If you like, garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it juicy. Using a meat thermometer is recommended to check the internal temperature. Adjust the seasonings based on your flavor preferences, and allow the chicken to rest before slicing to retain its juices. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or frozen for up to three months.
