Ingredients

2 largeboneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tbspolive oil

1 tspgarlic powder

1 tsponion powder

1 tsppaprika

½ tspdried oregano

½ tspsalt

½ tspblack pepper

1 tbsplemon juice (optional)

Instructions

Turn your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the chicken doesn’t stick.

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then drizzle them with olive oil and rub it all over so every bit is lightly coated.

In a small bowl, stir together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper until evenly mixed.

Sprinkle the spice mix over the chicken and work it in with your hands so the whole surface is covered.

Put the chicken on the baking sheet and slide it into the oven; bake for 18–22 minutes until the thickest part hits 165°F (75°C) on a meat thermometer.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes off the heat so the juices settle, then slice and serve.
