Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon of lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon of freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, salt, oregano, and garlic powder. Mix them well to make a flavorful marinade.
3. Place the chicken breasts in a large ziplock bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each breast is coated evenly. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (for best results, marinate it overnight).
4. After marinating, take out the chicken from the bag or dish and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Brush any remaining marinade over the chicken breasts to enhance the flavor.
6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
8. Serve the lemon pepper chicken with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
