Equipment
- Baking dish

Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure even cooking.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts, then evenly sprinkle the spice mixture on both sides of the chicken. Gently rub the spices into the chicken for better flavor absorption.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish and cover with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). Using a meat thermometer ensures perfectly cooked chicken every time.

- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
