Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 large fresh tomatoes
• 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 cup feta cheese

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the tomato topping. Dice the large tomatoes and place them in a medium bowl.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Once grilled, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 8

Slice the chicken breasts and arrange them on a serving platter. Spoon the tomato mixture evenly over the chicken slices.

Step 9

Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of the chicken for added flavor and enticement.

Step 10

Serve the grilled chicken with tomatoes immediately, warm, and enjoy a delightful and healthy meal.
