Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup optional: kalamata olives, pitted and halved
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Rub the marinade all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer.
Scatter the cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and optional kalamata olives around and on top of the chicken breasts.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, uncovered.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the feta is slightly melted.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Enjoy this dish warm with a side of rice, quinoa, or crusty bread for a complete meal!
