Creating Baked Lemon Pepper Chicken is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick better.

3. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, juice from one lemon, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until well combined.

4. Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are evenly coated.

5. Add Lemon Slices: Slice the second lemon into thin rounds. Place the lemon slices on top of the chicken for extra flavor.

6. Bake the Chicken: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

7. Remove the Foil: After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

8. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain its juices.

9. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken for an added pop of color.
