Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 0.75 cups feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken breasts.
Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften and burst.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the tomatoes.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken and tomatoes. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the feta cheese softens slightly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with balsamic glaze if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
