Cooking Instructions

  • Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add in your chicken breasts and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes; overnight is ideal for deeper flavor.
  • Preheat Cooking Surface: If grilling, heat your grill to medium-high at around 375°F (190°C). For baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  • Cook the Chicken: Grill each breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they're golden brown and cooked through, or bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until juices run clear.
  • Add Feta Cheese: During the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the chicken. Allow it to melt slightly, adding a delightful creamy layer on top.
  • Create Sauce: In a small bowl, mix honey and red pepper flakes together. Drizzle this sweet and spicy mixture over the cooked chicken just before serving.
  • Garnish and Serve: Remove from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley or lemon slices for a pop of color. This dish pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or a refreshing salad!

Notes

Allow chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but overnight is optimal for richer flavor absorption in your Delightful Lemon Feta Greek Chicken.
