Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 8 ounces feta cheese block
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon oregano (dried)
• 2 tablespoons basil leaves (fresh)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.

Step 3

Arrange the chicken breasts in the baking dish, leaving some space in between each piece.

Step 4

Scatter the cherry tomatoes around the chicken breasts.

Step 5

Place the feta block in the center of the baking dish, nestled among the chicken and tomatoes.

Step 6

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the chicken, tomatoes, and feta.

Step 7

Mince the garlic cloves finely and sprinkle them over the entire dish.

Step 8

Season the dish with oregano, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

Step 9

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is fully cooked through.

Step 10

Once done, remove the dish from the oven. Gently stir the tomatoes and feta together to create a creamy sauce in the dish while leaving the chicken breasts intact.

Step 11

Sprinkle the fresh basil leaves over the top for a burst of flavor and color.

Step 12

Serve warm with crusty bread, rice, or a side salad for a complete meal.
