Ingredients

For the Salsa

  • 1 cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup pitted, sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

For the Chicken
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (7 ounces each)
  • pepper to taste
  • kosher salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 lemons, cut into wedges
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 450°.
  2. In a large bowl, combine feta, tomatoes, olives, parsley, lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil and oregano. Cover and chill in refrigerator.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large roasting pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with kosher salt and pepper. Sear chicken, about 1-2 minutes each side; remove from heat.
