Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium cucumber, diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 4

In a large ovenproof skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts.

Step 5

Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.

Step 6

Add the sliced red onion to the pan, distributing them around the chicken pieces.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.

Step 9

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and fresh parsley.

Step 10

Slice the chicken and serve warm, topped with the mixture of olives, tomatoes, cucumber, and parsley.

Step 11

Enjoy your Whole30 Greek Chicken with a side of fresh greens or roasted vegetables.
