Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/2 cup pitted green olives, sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Grilled Chicken with Feta and Tomatoes

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a grill pan, heat it over medium heat on the stove.
2. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with this mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered.
3. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
4. While the chicken is resting, toss the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced green olives with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet.
5. Roast the tomatoes and olives in the oven at 400°F for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and softened.
6. To serve, place the grilled chicken on a platter, top with the roasted cherry tomatoes and olives, and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and fresh basil over the top.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the grill is properly preheated for a good sear on the chicken.
• Let the chicken rest after cooking to keep it juicy.
• Feel free to add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the tomatoes before roasting for an extra layer of flavor.
• Use fresh herbs if possible to elevate the dish.

Easy Variations

• Substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs for a richer flavor.
• Add bell peppers or zucchini to the roasting pan for more color and nutrition.
• For a Mediterranean twist, include capers along with the olives.
• Serve over a bed of quinoa or couscous for a heartier meal.

What to Serve With It

• A simple green salad with lemon vinaigrette.
• Garlic bread or crusty baguette for dipping in the juices.
• Couscous or quinoa tossed with herbs for a complete meal.
• Steamed green beans or asparagus for a fresh side.
