- 1½ Tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper

- ½ Tablespoon dried oregano
- ½ Tablespoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking tray with aluminum foil.
- Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and, using a rolling pin, pound the breasts so they are all the same thickness.
- In a mixing bowl, drizzle the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and thyme. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
- Arrange the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the largest breasts reads 165 degrees F.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes outside of the oven before slicing and serving.
