Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat.

  3. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish.

  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

  5. Top the chicken with the parsley and feta cheese.

  6. Bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  7. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful dish, you can marinate the chicken breasts in the olive oil mixture for 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking.

  • You can also use a different type of cheese, such as goat cheese or Parmesan cheese, in place of the feta cheese.

  • If you are short on time, you can use pre-cooked chicken breasts. Simply heat the chicken breasts in the oven until they are warmed through before topping with the parsley and feta cheese.
