| Mediterranean Oregano Chicken |
I had a hectic week, but I still wanted to make a special dinner on Friday so I decided to whip up one of my favorite dishes. I made a quick run to the store for the feta cheese and olives, but everything else I had on hand. This flavorful dish is surprisingly simple to prepare and it's both healthy and delicious.
I served it here with a simple side of fresh baby spinach.
Mediterranean Oregano Chicken
6 Chicken breasts
3 cloves garlic chopped
2 tomatoes sliced
1/2 cup sliced onion
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/2 cup Kalamata olives chopped
8 oz feta cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
3-4 sprigs fresh oregano leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
sea salt
pepper
1/2 cup red wine (optional)
Preheat oven to 350. Spread a little olive oil in the bottom of a large baking dish. Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Place in the baking dish and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Lay onions around chicken. Drizzle chicken with a about 1/4 cup olive oil. Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Lay tomato slices on top of chicken. If using wine, add at this time. Sprinkle with garlic, fresh oregano, parsley and olives. Then crumble feta cheese over everything. Raise oven temperature to 375. Cover baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake about 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the center.
