A simple meal oven baked with moist chicken, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and delicious spices.

Making Greek Feta Chicken Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 375ยฐF.
  2. Drizzle olive oil into a 12×8-inch baking dish.
  3. Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner pieces.
  4. Add chicken to the dish and flip to coat in the oil.
  5. Season evenly with salt, pepper, and oregano.
  6. Sprinkle feta, olives, and tomatoes over the top.
  7. Bake uncovered for 35โ€“40 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165ยฐF internally.
  8. Let rest for 5โ€“10 minutes before serving (yes, this mattersโ€”juicy chicken > rushed chicken).

Pro Tips (Because Details Matter)

  • Donโ€™t skip slicing the chicken thinner โ€“ thick chicken = uneven cooking and dry edges. No thanks.
  • Use block feta if you can โ€“ crumble it yourself for better texture and less โ€œmystery mush.โ€
  • Let it rest โ€“ those juices need a minute to calm down before you cut in.
  • Spread toppings evenly โ€“ every bite should get some of the good stuff.

How to Customize (Without Ruining It)

  • Add spinach โ€“ toss it in under the feta, tomatoes, and olives
  • Swap protein โ€“ boneless thighs work beautifully and stay extra juicy
  • Add garlic โ€“ because when is that a bad idea?
  • Turn it into a meal โ€“ serve over rice, orzo, or with crusty bread to soak up the juices
Greek Feta Chicken Bake uses simple ingredients and only one pan to keep dishes at a minimum.
