A delightful Mediterranean-inspired chicken dish with vibrant flavors and a simple preparation.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Using a glass or ceramic baking dish can help distribute heat evenly.
Pierce the chicken breasts with a fork to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Piercing the chicken helps it absorb the lemon juice and seasoning better.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the chicken breasts and season with salt and black pepper.
Roll the lemon on the counter before cutting to release more juice.
Top the chicken with crumbled feta cheese, diced green bell pepper, chopped roma tomatoes, and sliced scallions.
Arrange the toppings evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Drizzle the juice of the second lemon over the assembled dish.
Add a little zest from the lemon for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Bake the dish uncovered in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Garnish with chopped parsley and additional scallion greens before serving.
Fresh herbs add a vibrant touch to the final presentation.
Serve the dish with your choice of sides, such as crusty bread or a green vegetable.
Pair with a side salad for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.
