Instructions
Creating Greek Chicken with Lemon and Feta is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
3. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor).
4. Bake Chicken: Bake the marinated chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
5. Add Feta: During the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken and return to the oven until the cheese is slightly melted.
6. Garnish: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
7. Serve: Enjoy your Greek Chicken with a side of rice, salad, or your favorite bread.
