How to Make Quick And Easy Lemon Pepper Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Pour the lemon pepper mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  5. Seal the pouches tightly, ensuring no air escapes.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the breasts.
