Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 0.75 cups feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken breasts.
Step 3
Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften and burst.
Step 5
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the tomatoes.
Step 6
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken and tomatoes. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the feta cheese softens slightly.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with balsamic glaze if using.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy!
