Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 8 ounces feta cheese block
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon oregano (dried)
- 2 tablespoons basil leaves (fresh)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
Arrange the chicken breasts in the baking dish, leaving some space in between each piece.
Scatter the cherry tomatoes around the chicken breasts.
Place the feta block in the center of the baking dish, nestled among the chicken and tomatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the chicken, tomatoes, and feta.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and sprinkle them over the entire dish.
Season the dish with oregano, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is fully cooked through.
Once done, remove the dish from the oven. Gently stir the tomatoes and feta together to create a creamy sauce in the dish while leaving the chicken breasts intact.
Sprinkle the fresh basil leaves over the top for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve warm with crusty bread, rice, or a side salad for a complete meal.
