Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
• 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the halved grape or cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and sliced red onion to the skillet. Sprinkle with dried oregano and red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the vegetable mixture. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and simmer for 2-3 minutes to reheat.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley over the top of the dish before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot, optionally with crusty bread or a side of roasted vegetables.
