Simple and easy to make Greek-style chicken breasts baked to perfection with tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 medium lemon (juiced)
  • zest of 1 medium lemon
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp minced fresh basil (parsley, or oregano)
  • 2 lb chicken breast (boneless and skinless)
  • kosher salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup chopped grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
  • 1 small red onion (chopped)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350F.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl whisk the oil, lemon juice, zest, seasonings, and basil or herbs of choice.

  3. 3

    Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and place in a medium oven-safe dish.

  4. 4

    Pour over the prepared greek-style dressing. If time allows, you can marinate the chicken for 1 hour, or overnight, keeping it in the oven dish. (Just before roasting, allow it to sit for 30 minutes over the counter to get to room temp!)

  5. 5

    Bake for 25-35 minutes

  6. 6

    Once the chicken is done (an internal thermometer inserted into each reads 165F), remove it from the oven. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes, then chop into large chunks and place back into the dish.

  7. 7

    Top with tomatoes, olives, onions, and feta.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately.
