A savory, herb-infused dish featuring crispy chicken, zesty lemon, and creamy feta, ideal for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 large lemons (juice)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish Optional garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag, pouring the marinade over them. Seal and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for more flavor).
- After marination, take the chicken out of the bag and arrange it in a baking dish. Pour any leftover marinade over the chicken.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top of the chicken.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), and the cheese will become bubbly and slightly golden.
- Once done, take it out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, slice, and enjoy with your favorite side dishes!
Notes
Substitutions for feta can include goat cheese or a dairy-free alternative. Always check the internal temperature to avoid overcooking.
