- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

8. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken.
9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).

11. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and lemon zest before serving.
12. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad.
