Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium red onion (sliced)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.75 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves (chopped)
• 1 whole lemon (sliced into wedges for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, then remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic and sliced red onion for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 5

Stir in the cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, and the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to burst and release their juices.

Step 6

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture. Spoon some of the tomato mixture over the chicken.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the chicken and tomatoes.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Step 10

Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish. Enjoy!
