# Steps:

01 - Set the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
02 - Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, chili flakes if using, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk thoroughly.
03 - Place chicken breasts on the sheet pan and brush both sides with half of the prepared marinade.
