Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 14 ounces Diced tomatoes (canned)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, and red chili flakes (if using). Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken to ensure it is coated.
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken and tomato sauce. Cover the skillet again and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the feta softens slightly.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve warm with your choice of side, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a simple Greek salad.
