  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • Salt and pepper (according to your taste)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz. mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425-degree F. Clean and pat dry chicken. Mix the spices in a small bowl; onion powder, garlic powder, oregano.
  2. On to a baking dish, add some olive oil and place the chicken. Season generously with salt, pepper and top with spices. Rub all over the chicken on both sides.
  3. Place the dish in the oven and bake the chicken for 18 minutes for a smaller breast or 22-25 minutes for larger ones. Check with a digital thermometer and it should reach 165-degree F.

  6. Serve with a side of steamed broccoli. Enjoy!
