Begin by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the tomato topping. Dice the large tomatoes and place them in a medium bowl.
Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tomatoes, along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to develop.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for approximately 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is no longer pink inside.
Once grilled, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
Slice the chicken breasts and arrange them on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato mixture evenly over the chicken slices.
Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of the chicken for added flavor and enticement.
Serve the grilled chicken with tomatoes immediately, warm, and enjoy a delightful and healthy meal.
