Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 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 (like parsley or thyme) for garnish Optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the spice mix, making sure every inch is covered.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cooking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes to maintain its juicy texture.
- Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
For a low-sodium option, consider using herb blends without added salt. Marinating the chicken for an hour prior to cooking can amplify the flavors. Avoid overcooking to ensure a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
