4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Drizzle olive oil over the chicken, ensuring even coverage.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle evenly over both sides of the chicken.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Spicy Variation: Add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.

Herb-Infused: Mix in fresh thyme, rosemary, or parsley.

Citrus Twist: Squeeze lemon juice or zest over the chicken.

Cheesy Option: Sprinkle with Parmesan before baking.

Marinated Chicken: Marinate in olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic for extra tenderness.
