- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Add the chicken tenders to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated with the spice mixture.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil and lemon juice mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
