1-Getting started with oven baked herb chicken is as easy as turning on your oven. Begin by preheating it to 425°F (220°C) and grabbing a baking dish to set the stage. This high-heat method helps lock in juices and flavors, making your chicken tender and delicious.

2-Next, in a small bowl, mix together ½ teaspoon each of garlic powder, dried basil, dried thyme, dried oregano, along with salt and pepper to taste. Coat the 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil, then rub the herb mixture all over both sides for even coverage. Place the chicken in the baking dish and slide it into the oven.

3-Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken breasts smaller ones might need just 18-20 minutes. Remember to flip the chicken halfway through so it cooks evenly and stays juicy. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes to let the juices settle before serving. This step-by-step approach ensures your meal turns out perfectly every time, even for busy parents or working professionals.
