1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 lemon wedges

How to cook it

Heat the oven to 425F and line a baking dish or sheet pan with parchment or foil.
If the breasts are much thicker at one end, pound them gently to an even thickness so they cook through at the same time. Pat them dry and rub them all over with the olive oil.
Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle it over both sides of the chicken.
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until the thickest part reads 165F on an instant-read thermometer.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing so it stays juicy, then serve with the lemon wedges and a vegetable or two, like roasted green beans or a green salad.
