Ingredients

• 4 pieces (approximately 6 ounces each) Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 whole, juiced Lemon
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven broiler and position the oven rack approximately 6 inches from the heating element.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Brush both sides of each chicken breast with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 5

Place the chicken breasts on a broiler-safe pan or baking sheet.

Step 6

Broil the chicken for 6 minutes, then carefully flip and continue broiling for another 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken breasts and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a salad for a complete high-protein meal.
