Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).

Step 4

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade (reserve marinade) and sear them on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat. Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken breasts, and scatter the crumbled feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, and red onion slices around the chicken in the skillet.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

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

Step 8

Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with your choice of rice, couscous, or a fresh side salad.
