Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Crumble the feta cheese into the skillet and pour in the heavy cream. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
Add lemon juice to the sauce and stir to combine.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the feta sauce over it. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle over the dish before serving.
