Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
  3. Brush the mixture generously over the chicken breasts.
  4. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and add chicken broth, if using, for extra moisture.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and serve warm.

For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the chicken in the lemon-pepper mixture for up to 2 hours before baking.
