Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch thick) to ensure they cook evenly.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season them evenly with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano on both sides.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and chopped parsley.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a lightly oiled baking dish, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Spoon generous portions of the feta mixture onto the tops of each chicken breast, spreading it evenly.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your choice of side dishes like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
