  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush mixture over both sides of chicken breasts.

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil mixture for 30 minutes before baking. Serve with pasta or a side salad.
