  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts to the marinade; coat well and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Place marinated chicken breasts in a baking dish with halved cherry tomatoes.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the tomatoes are slightly blistered.
  5. In the last five minutes of baking, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the dish and allow it to melt slightly.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Pair with rice or crusty bread.

Notes
