Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano.

3
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
4
Remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
