Description
Greek Chicken with Lemon and Feta is a flavorful, Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring tender chicken breasts seasoned with classic Greek herbs, seared or baked to a golden brown. It is infused with bright citrusy lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and topped with crumbled, creamy feta cheese and fresh herbs.
Ingredients & Supplies
-
Chicken: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
-
Lemon & Olive Oil: Freshly squeezed juice of 1–2 lemons and 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.
-
Cheese: 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese.
-
Herbs & Spices: Minced garlic, dried oregano, fresh parsley (chopped), salt, and black pepper.
-
Optional: Lemon wedges for serving.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
-
Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5–7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Add Lemon & Garlic: In the final minute of cooking, toss in the minced garlic and pour the fresh lemon juice directly over the chicken, letting it reduce into a light glaze.
-
Top with Feta: Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and fresh chopped parsley over the warm chicken so the cheese softens slightly.
