Greek Chicken with Lemon and Feta: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 19 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
– 2 teaspoons lemon zest
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (for serving)


Instructions

Creating Greek Chicken with Lemon and Feta is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).

2. Preheat the Oven: While the chicken marinates, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

3. Prepare a Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

4. Arrange the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts in the baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade over the top.

5. Bake the Chicken: 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).

6. Add Feta: In the last 5 minutes of baking, remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake until the feta is slightly melted and golden.

7. Garnish: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

8. Serve: Enjoy your Greek Chicken with Lemon and Feta hot, alongside your favorite sides.
