A delicious harmony of flavors with tender chicken marinated in lemon and olive oil, topped with creamy feta cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lemon (juiced and zested)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves (finely minced or 1 tsp dried garlic powder)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt (plus a pinch)
  • 1/4 tsp coarse black pepper
  • 1 lb thin-sliced chicken breast
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
  • Additional lemon wedges (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Whisk the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well emulsified. Set aside 1/4 cup of marinade for later.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Add the thin-sliced chicken breast to the mixing bowl with the remaining marinade. Use tongs to coat each piece thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Heat the Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a drizzle of olive oil.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken into the skillet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  5. Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the chicken and continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear when sliced.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving plate and drizzle reserved marinade over the top. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours. Can substitute feta with goat cheese or ricotta.
