Greek Salsa Chicken

This recipe is delicious! It's tasty, easy and colorful - just perfect to spice up your usual go-to meal ideas.

I found this recipe on Pinterest - Sweet Pea Kitchen - and had to try it - we made it on Friday night and it was a great way to celebrate another successful and productive work week.

Here is what you will need:

For the salsa:

• 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
• 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives - we don't like these so we left them out
• 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon freshly chopped oregano

 For the chicken:

• 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves - we only used 2
• Pepper to taste
• Kosher salt to taste - we just used our basic table salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 lemons cut into wedges

And here is how you bring it all together:

1.  Preheat oven to 450
2. In a large bowl, combine feta, tomatoes, olives (if you like them), parsley, lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, and oregano. Cover and chill in fridge.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large roasting pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear chicken, about 2 minutes each side; remove from heat.
4. Squeeze lemon wedges over chicken to coat. Place the squeezed lemon wedges around the chicken breasts. Roast until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160, about 25-30 minutes. Transfer chicken and lemons to a large platter. Top with salsa.

Note - the side dish we made was 'Sweedish Potatoes' - I found this recipe on Pinterest, but you can find their recipe here.

Everyone should give this recipe a try!

Bon appetit and enjoy!
