Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in cherry tomatoes and red onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Add the kalamata olives, oregano, thyme, and lemon juice. Mix well and return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the vegetable mixture.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the dish, letting it melt slightly from the residual heat.
Serve the chicken on beds of baby spinach, spooning the vegetable mixture and pan juices over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
