Instructions
Creating Greek Chicken with Lemon and Feta is straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Bake the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in a baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
5. Add Feta: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken. Return to the oven until the cheese is slightly melted and golden.
6. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
