Ingredients

• 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium red onion, sliced
• 1 medium bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and ensure each piece is thoroughly coated with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for better infusion of flavors.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 4

In a large ovenproof skillet or baking dish, arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer.

Step 5

Distribute the sliced red onion, bell pepper, and halved cherry tomatoes around the chicken in the skillet.

Step 6

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the chicken and vegetables.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Low Carb Greek Chicken warm, accompanied with a side of fresh salad or as a standalone dish.
