Cooking Steps

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
• In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
• Rub the marinade evenly over each chicken breast, ensuring they are well coated.
• In an oven-safe skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
• After searing, drizzle lemon juice over the chicken for an extra layer of flavor.
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
• Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
• Sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving for a pop of color.
