Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.75 cup Feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear each side for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Sprinkle in dried oregano and red pepper flakes, and stir well to combine.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture. Spoon some of the tomatoes over the chicken.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top of the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Garnish with freshly torn basil leaves before serving. Pair with crusty bread, rice, or a light salad for a complete meal.
