Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Step 2

Pat the chicken dry. Place the chicken breasts in a large ziploc bag, remove any air from the bag and seal the top, and set the bag on a cutting board. Pound the chicken with a meat mallet to flatten to about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the chicken from the ziploc bag and set aside. Reuse the bag and mallet to repeat the process with the remaining chicken breast pieces.

Step 3

Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and place in a large bowl or dish. Add the spices, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Combine to make sure the chicken is evenly coated.

Step 4

Grease a baking dish or pan with olive oil, then spread the onion slices on the bottom. Arrange the seasoned chicken over the onions, and top with the tomatoes.

Step 5

Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 10 minutes, then uncover and bake another 8-10 minutes. Watch carefully because cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts. To be sure the chicken is cooked through, use a digital instant-read or meat thermometer to check for the proper internal temperature of 165°F.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the oven, cover with foil or another pan and let rest 5-10 minutes. Uncover and garnish, serve and enjoy!
