Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 medium lemon juiced
  • zest of 1 medium lemon
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp minced fresh basil parsley, or oregano
  • 2 lb chicken breast boneless and skinless
  • kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chopped grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
  • 1 small red onion chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • In a small bowl whisk the oil, lemon juice, zest, seasonings, and basil or herbs of choice.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and place in a medium oven-safe dish.
  • Pour over the prepared greek-style dressing. If time allows, you can marinate the chicken for 1 hour, or overnight, keeping it in the oven dish. (Just before roasting, allow it to sit for 30 minutes over the counter to get to room temp!)
  • Bake for 25-35 minutes
  • Once the chicken is done (an internal thermometer inserted into each reads 165F), remove it from the oven. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes, then chop into large chunks and place back into the dish.
  • Top with tomatoes, olives, onions, and feta.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Skip feta cheese to reduce fat content and calories 
  • Use boneless and skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breast.
  • any oil would work but we prefer using avocado or olive oil
