  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning

Equipment

  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy exterior and even cooking.
Seasoning & Cooking
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and salt to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Brush the chicken breasts generously with the seasoning mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  3. Place the seasoned chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serving
  1. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain its juiciness.
  2. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can also grill or pan-fry the chicken if you prefer.
