Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Arrange the chicken breasts in the dish and drizzle with olive oil.
Sprinkle oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the chicken.
Layer lemon slices, halved cherry tomatoes, olives, and red onion over and around the chicken.
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with feta, and let rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier option—just adjust cooking time slightly.
Add zucchini, bell peppers, or artichoke hearts for extra veggies.
Sprinkle with fresh basil or dill just before serving for extra Mediterranean flavor.
For meal prep, store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
