How to Make Healthy Baked Chicken Breasts
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pound out 4 chicken breasts until 1/2-inch thick. Put the breasts inside a resealable bag when tenderizing to avoid splatter.
- Mix olive oil, fresh lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Pour marinade over the chicken breasts.
- Cover and let sit for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, take the chicken out of the marinade and place on paper towels to drain.
- Use cooking spray to lightly grease a 9 x 13 pan.
- Place chicken breasts in the pan. Insert a digital meat thermometer in the middle of the thickest part of the biggest breast.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. When the thermometer reads 165 degrees the chicken is done.
- Let the chicken breasts rest for 5 minutes. Then serve. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley to add color when serving.
