- In a bowl, mix olive oil with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the chicken breasts with the spice mixture.
- For oven-baked: Place chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.

For an extra kick, increase the amount of paprika or add a touch of cayenne pepper. Marinating the chicken in the spice mixture for a few hours or overnight enhances the flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
