Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breast halves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your broiler to high and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried oregano until well combined.

Step 3

Place the chicken breast halves on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. This will make for easier cleanup.

Step 4

Brush the oil and spice mixture onto both sides of each chicken breast, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler.

Step 6

Broil the chicken for about 10 minutes on one side, then flip and broil for another 10 minutes on the other side until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the broiler and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute within the meat.

Step 8

Serve the broiled chicken with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
