Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400º F to prepare for baking the chicken.
- Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the tomato paste, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and parsley. Stir thoroughly to create a flavorful sauce.

- Rest and Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for 3-5 minutes after baking to let the juices settle before serving.
Notes
- You can use fresh herbs instead of dried oregano and parsley for a more vibrant flavor.
- Doubling the recipe will require a larger baking dish.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165º F for safety.
- Feel free to customize toppings based on your favorite pizza ingredients.
