6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts on a large, rimmed baking sheet, making sure they’re not touching each other.
Bake the chicken for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
