Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Remove any excess fat from the chicken breast using a sharp knife.
Place the meat between two pieces of plastic wrap and use a rolling pin to pound the meat until it has an even thickness from one side to the other.
Rub the outside of the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Lay them into a baking dish or on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meat is 165°F (74°C). If it's not up to temperature after 20 minutes, allow it to cook for 5 more minutes and test again.
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
