Method
- In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor infusion.
- If grilling, preheat your grill over medium-high heat. For oven baking, set it to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your cooking surface with nonstick spray or oil.
- While waiting for the grill or oven to heat up, halve your cherry tomatoes and toss them lightly in olive oil with salt and pepper.
- Grill each side for about 6-7 minutes until cooked through; you want an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). If using the oven, bake for approximately 25-30 minutes.
- In the last few minutes of cooking time, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top of the chicken to let it melt slightly (if using).
- Once cooked through and beautifully browned, remove from heat. Serve alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Always check doneness with a meat thermometer for perfect cooking. Use fresh herbs whenever possible for a lively taste. Feel free to add olives or sun-dried tomatoes for added complexity.
