Easy Feta Chicken Bake


This was soooo easy and simple, but really turned out tasty (even though my oven cycled up during the baking process and ever so slightly burnt it.  I hate apartments, darn thing has been replaced already and I DO use a thermometer in there.  Still no dice!).  I highly recommend this if you need something good with little prep time.  Takes 40 (I would recommend about 30-35) minutes to bake and voila!  

After a long day of pre-Spring cleaning, being able to throw the ingredients together, finish up some cleaning and have a tasty meal ready; FANTASTIC.  Oh, and did I mention?  150 calories (not sure how many the tomatoes and olives add, the Kraft website says 134)!!  Yup.  Easy and low cal.  Gotta love it.


Easy Feta Chicken Bake (with minor adaptions)



6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 2 lb.)
2 Tbsp. lemon juice, divided
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 pkg. (4 oz.) ATHENOS Crumbled Feta Cheese with Basil & Tomato

1/8 cup diced sundried tomatoes*

1/8 cup diced Calamata Olives* (these two added really made it, IMO)
1/4 cup finely chopped red pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Arrange chicken in 13x9-inch baking dish.

DRIZZLE with 1 Tbsp. of the lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper. Top with feta cheese, olives and sundried tomatoes; drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp. lemon juice. 

BAKE 35 to 40 min. or until chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle with red pepper and parsley.

  2. Rob, eat healthy meats and small amounts with veggies. Unless of course you are vegetarian for a reason. I couldn't do it. Lean protein is good.
