  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • to taste Salt and pepper to taste
  • optional Fresh herbs for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Coat the chicken breasts with the seasoning mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered.
  4. Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  2. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your choice of sides.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in your seasoning mixture for 30 minutes before baking. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; this prevents overcooking and keeps the chicken juicy.
