Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large red onion, sliced
- 3 medium bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, green)
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, making sure they are fully coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 4
In a large oven-proof skillet or baking dish, arrange the sliced red onion and bell peppers. Place the marinated chicken breasts on top of the vegetables. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken and vegetables.
Step 5
Top the dish with the halved kalamata olives.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve the Paleo Greek Chicken warm, paired with your choice of paleo-friendly sides like cauliflower rice or a crisp green salad.
