Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to make a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure each piece is evenly coated.
If using cherry tomatoes, scatter them around the chicken in the baking dish.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
While the chicken is baking, crumble the feta cheese and set it aside.
After 20 minutes of baking, remove the dish from the oven and evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the dish from the oven and let rest for a few minutes.
Garnish the chicken with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
