Greek Oven Baked Chicken Breast
Report
Simple and easy to make Greek-style chicken breasts baked to perfection with tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 medium lemon juiced
- Zest of 1 medium lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil parsley, or oregano
- 2 Pounds chicken breast boneless and skinless
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup chopped grape or cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- 1 small red onion chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- In a small bowl whisk the oil, lemon juice, zest, seasonings, and basil or herbs of choice.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and place in a medium oven-safe dish.
- Pour over the prepared greek-style dressing. If time allows, you can marinate the chicken for 1 hour, or overnight, keeping it in the oven dish. (Just before roasting, allow it to sit for 30 minutes over the counter to get to room temp!)
- Bake for 25-35 minutes
- Once the chicken is done (an internal thermometer inserted into each reads 165F), remove it from the oven. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes, then chop into large chunks and place back into the dish.
- Top with tomatoes, olives, onions, and feta.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Skip feta cheese to reduce fat content and calories
- Use boneless and skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breast.
- any oil would work but I prefer using avocado or olive oil
