Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub the mixture over the chicken breasts evenly.
  4. Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
  2. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  3. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve.

Notes

Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; it should reach 165°F (75°C). Try adding lemon juice or your favorite marinade for extra flavor.
