Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the chicken cooks evenly.

Prepare the Chicken
Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This step helps the seasonings stick better.
- 3
Season the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, coating each piece thoroughly with the marinade.

Arrange in Baking Dish
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a greased baking dish. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking.

Bake the Chicken
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving for added flavor and presentation.
