Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and dried thyme.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for more flavor.

Step 4

Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat. Add unsalted chicken broth alongside the chicken breasts in the skillet.

Step 6

Scatter cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and fresh dill around the chicken in the skillet.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and, if desired, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your low sodium Greek chicken with a side salad or whole grain of choice.
