Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 piece lemon
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure even browning.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Step 6

Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are not touching for even cooking.

Step 7

Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze one half over the chicken breasts to add a fresh citrus flavor, and slice the other half into rounds to place in the baking dish for additional aroma.

Step 8

Roast the chicken in the oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional) and serve warm.
