Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 1 medium bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and ensure each piece is thoroughly coated with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for better infusion of flavors.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large ovenproof skillet or baking dish, arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer.
Distribute the sliced red onion, bell pepper, and halved cherry tomatoes around the chicken in the skillet.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the chicken and vegetables.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Low Carb Greek Chicken warm, accompanied with a side of fresh salad or as a standalone dish.
