Learn how to make delicious Easy Baked Chicken Recipe. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Gather these simple ingredients, and you’re halfway to a delicious meal:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

If you’re like me and love experimenting, feel free to swap the spices with your favorites. Sometimes, I add a pinch of cumin or smoked paprika for a twist reminiscent of my family’s Mexican flavors.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over them, ensuring all sides are coated.
  4. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, and drizzle with lemon juice.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. A meat thermometer should read 165°F (75°C).
  6. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

This method is foolproof and something I often rely on when I want a stress-free dinner. Just like my abuela, who would let the aroma of her cooking fill the house, I love when the smell of this baked chicken wafts through my home, signaling that something delicious is about to be enjoyed.
