  • Total Time: 30-40 minutes (including resting time)
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika (or your favorite seasoning)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, thyme) for garnish
  • Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even cooking and a nice, crispy texture on the chicken.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the thinly sliced chicken breasts with the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1-2 hours for deeper flavor).
  3. Arrange the Chicken: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking. Arrange the marinated chicken slices in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. This allows them to cook evenly.
  4. Bake the Chicken: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  5. Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

Marinate for Maximum Flavor: For the best results, marinate the chicken for 1-2 hours. Adding citrus juice or vinegar to the marinade enhances flavor and tenderizes the meat.

Oven Variability: Keep in mind that cooking times may vary depending on your oven. Always check the internal temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer to ensure it is cooked properly.

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
