Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the spices: combine 1/2 cup mustard, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon chicken buan, 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano, and 1 tablespoon smoked paprika in a bowl to form a thick paste.

Open the chicken breasts and crack the chest slightly to flatten them.

Remove any excess skin or fat from the chicken breasts if desired.

Add a little vegetable oil to the baking dish.

Rub the spice paste all over the chicken breasts, ensuring to cover the bottom and top.

Slice the half onion and place it underneath each chicken breast in the baking dish.

Drizzle a little vegetable oil over the chicken breasts to help them brown.

Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven.

Bake for 50 minutes covered, then uncover and bake for an additional 20 minutes.

After baking, pour the released juices over the chicken before serving.
