Mediterranean Baked Chicken
- 2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 lemon, juiced, divided
- 1 small yellow onion, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, diced
- 1 teaspoon dried Greek oregano (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 (10 ounce) bag fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a your desired thickness. Season with salt and pepper. Place chicken in a baking pan.
- Combine 3/4 of the lemon juice, onion, 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, and oregano in a bowl. Pour marinade over the chicken.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute tomatoes for 3 minutes. Add spinach; season with salt and remaining lemon juice. Cook and stir until spinach is slightly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour over the chicken in the pan. Sprinkle feta cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
