Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, cut into eighths
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup chopped green onion
4 cloves garlic, pressed
2 teaspoons Greek seasoning, divided

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
Step 2: In a bowl, combine the chopped cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta, green onion, pressed garlic, and 1 teaspoon of Greek seasoning. Mix well to blend the flavors.
Step 3: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with the remaining 1 teaspoon of Greek seasoning. Arrange the chicken flat in a 2-quart baking dish.
Step 4: Spoon the tomato and feta mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Cover the dish with foil to keep the moisture in.
Step 5: Bake covered for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh herbs like oregano or basil for an extra burst of Mediterranean flavor.
Swap cherry tomatoes for sun-dried tomatoes if you prefer a more intense tomato taste.
Serve with a side of rice, couscous, or steamed vegetables to complete the meal.

Storage

Store leftover chicken bake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through to maintain the texture of the chicken and the tomato topping.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Yes, boneless skinless chicken thighs work well and can add extra juiciness. Adjust baking time slightly as thighs may take a few minutes longer to cook.

Is it possible to make this recipe dairy-free?

To make it dairy-free, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a plant-based cheese alternative. The dish will still be flavorful with the tomato and seasoning mix.
