Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a bit of olive oil or non-stick spray.
Arrange the chicken breasts in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure even cooking.
In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the tomatoes evenly.
Pour the tomato mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring the tomatoes surround and cover the chicken pieces.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top of the chicken and tomatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the feta is slightly golden.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
