Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them, making sure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for better flavor.
Step 4
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and sear them in the skillet for about 2 minutes per side until lightly golden.
Step 5
Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Step 6
Bake the chicken in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and Kalamata olives over the chicken. Return the skillet to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the toppings.
Step 8
Garnish the chicken with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately with a side of your choice, such as Greek salad or steamed vegetables.
