Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 0.75 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with half of the salt, pepper, oregano, and basil.

Step 3

In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.

Step 7

Stir in the sliced olives, the remaining salt, pepper, oregano, and basil.

Step 8

Nestle the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning some of the tomato and olive mixture over the top.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken and tomato mixture.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
