Equipment

  • 1 oven
  • 1 baking dish
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 cooking spoon
  • 1 meat thermometer
  • 1 aluminum foil (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 lbs total.
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 piece lemon Juice and zest.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano, thyme, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well to create a marinade.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the marinade over the top, ensuring the chicken is well coated. For best results, let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Once marinated, arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the baking dish. Spoon some of the marinade over the top for extra flavor.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (optional) and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain the juices and enhance the flavor.
  • Serve the chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
