Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
-
Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
-
Once the chicken has marinated, add the cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives to the baking dish, spreading them around the chicken.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
-
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese starts to melt.
-
Once the chicken is cooked and the cheese is melted, remove the baking dish from the oven.
-
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
-
Serve the Mother's Day chicken hot and fresh out of the oven, paired with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp garden salad.
