Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano

- 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts. Place them on a baking sheet.
