3. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
4. Arrange the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
5. Add Feta: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken breasts, distributing it evenly.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Broil for Finish: If desired, switch to broil for the last 2-3 minutes to lightly brown the feta cheese.
8. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.
9. Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
