Greek Chicken

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless, chicken breasts (about 3 lbs) adjust the topping accordingly if you have more or less chicken.
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 lemons
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry oregano
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes quartered
  • 1 cup olives cut in half
  • *optional fresh oregano and basil
  • S&P to taste

Instructions

  • Filet chicken.
  • In a medium bowl combine olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, and dry oregano.
  • Dip chicken into the mixture then put the chicken on a rack or on a sheet pan. ( or marinade it for an hour or more)
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes (or grill the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165° then top the chicken on the grill or on a baking sheet and cover to just melt the cheese a bit).
  • r top the chicken with the feta cheese, olives, and tomatoes, and bake for 10 more minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. (check with a thermometer)
  • I love adding fresh herbs to dishes and use fresh oregano and basil on the top of the chicken and use the second lemon to squeeze over the chicken.
  • This will go great with a salad with a lemon dressing, rice or pasta dressed in olive oil, lemon, and more oregano and salt and pepper to taste.
