Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (68 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry using paper towels, then pound them to an even thickness of about ¾ inch.
  3. Mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well blended.
  4. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
  5. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours for deeper flavor if possible.
  6. Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and garnishing with lemon slices and fresh parsley or cilantro.
