Greek food is all about keeping things simple, fresh, and delicious. This chicken recipe uses plenty of lemon, garlic, and dried oregano to create a meal that feels like a trip to the Mediterranean right in your own kitchen.

It is a wonderful choice for a busy weeknight because it requires very little cleanup. My favorite tip is to let the chicken marinate for at least thirty minutes so the lemon juice has enough time to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.

  2. 2

    Place the chicken breasts in a large dish or a sealable bag and pour the marinade over them.

  3. 3

    Let the chicken sit in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes to soak up all those great flavors.

  4. 4

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about six to eight minutes on each side until it is golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Remove the chicken from the heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta and fresh parsley over the top before serving.

💡 Tips

Serve this chicken alongside a crisp cucumber salad and warm pita bread for a complete meal. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Just reheat the chicken gently in a pan with a splash of water to keep it moist.
