Ingredients
| Skinless and boneless chicken breasts |
1 lb. (0.4 kg) |
|
Olive oil |
2 tablespoons |
|
Garlic powder |
1.5 tablespoons |
|
Lemon juice |
2 tablespoons |
|
Ground black pepper |
1 tsp |
|

3 dashes |

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese |

Instructions
Step 1
Marinate the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, lemon juice, black pepper, cayenne pepper and salt. The marinade will be paste-y and not liquidy.
Step 2
While the chicken breasts are marinating, preheat oven to 400°F (207°C). Top the marinated chicken breasts with the grated Parmesan cheese evenly. Bake the chicken for about 20-30 minutes, until a meat thermometer hits 165 degrees Fahrenheit when inserted into the thickest part of the breasts.
Step 3
Remove the Parmesan baked chicken from the oven. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges, squeeze the juice on the chicken for extra flavors. You may also serve the chicken with your favorite hot sauce.
