Baked Mediterranean Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they’re well-coated with all those delightful flavors. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (if you have time to spare, let them soak it up for a few hours!).
  4. While your chicken is marinating, prepare a baking dish and lightly grease it with a little olive oil.
  5. Once the chicken is ready, place the marinated chicken in the baking dish. Scatter the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese over the top of the chicken. Don’t be shy – let that flavor burst!
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  7. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve up and enjoy!
