Lemon-Feta Chicken Breast

Serves 4

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
4 (8 oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 tbsp.crumbled feta cheese
4 tsp. chopped scallions
Homemade Pico de Gallo

1.  In a large bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper.  Add chicken breasts and marinate in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.  [I marinated mine for 2 hours.]

2.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Remove chicken from marinade and sear in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until it is a lovely golden brown.

3.  Place chicken in a 13x9" glass baking dish.  Top each breast with 2 tbsp. feta cheese and 1 tsp. scallions.

4.  Bake for 30-35 minutes or until juices run clear.

Serve this with your favorite, homemade, fresh pico de gallo by putting a small dollop on the top of the cooked chicken breast when serving.  Serve remaining pico de gallo on the side.  THIS IS DELICIOIUS! and easy! and beautiful! and healthy!
