And I’m betting that this easy chicken bake with Greek flavors is going to be a recipe a lot of you will like as well! Kara and I first made this without the peperoncini, and it was certainly good, but we both felt the addition of some spicy Greek peperoncini really kicked it up a notch when we tried it that way!
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 very large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 2 tsp. Greek Seasoning (see notes)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomato halves
- 1/2 cup chopped or sliced Kalamata olives (or use black olives if you prefer)
- 1/2 cup sliced Greek peperoncini peppers (see notes)
- 3/4 cup crumbled Feta Cheese (use more or less to taste)
- fresh-ground black pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 375F/190C.
- Trim four large chicken breasts, removing any fatty or undesirable parts. Rub chicken on both sides with Greek Seasoning (affiliate link).
- Heat olive oil in frying pan over medium high heat, then add chicken breasts and cook about 2 minutes on first side, until it’s starting to barely brown.
- Turn chicken over and cook a few minutes on the other side. (Don’t cook too long at this point or the chicken will be overdone by the time it bakes.)
- Remove chicken to cutting board and let cool a minute or two until it’s cool enough to handle.
- Then cut each chicken breast lengthwise into 3-4 strips.
- Spray an 8?x13? or 9?x12? casserole dish with non-stick spray and arrange chicken breasts going crosswise in the dish.
- While chicken cooks and is cooling a bit, drain olives and slice, slice cherry tomatoes in half, removed seeds from peperoncini and slice (see notes), and crumble the Feta.
- Sprinkle tomatoes, olives, and peperoncini over the chicken strips and crumble Feta over the top.
- Season to taste with fresh-ground black pepper.
- Bake 25 minutes or until chicken is hot and cheese is starting to melt. (I used an Instant Read Meat Thermometer (affiliate link) to make sure the chicken had reached a safe-cooking temperature of 165F/75C.)
