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 parsley for garnish (optional) Use as a garnish for added flavor and presentation.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Coat the chicken breasts with the seasoning mixture.
  4. Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
  2. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Make sure not to overcook the chicken; check for doneness at 20 minutes. Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy. Experiment with different seasonings to suit your taste. To store, let leftover chicken cool completely, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
