Directions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried basil, salt, pepper, olive oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice to make the marinade.
Place chicken breasts in a baking dish. Rub the marinade evenly over each chicken breast.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This will help to lock in the juices and keep the chicken moist.
Serve the chicken warm, drizzled with the leftover juices in the pan.
