Servings 2 people
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
- salt and pepper as needed
- Italian seasoning blend as needed
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ cup diced tomatoes you can use fresh, canned, or halved grape tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 8 oz block of feta
- ½ lemon cut into thin slices, for garnish
- ¼ cup basil chopped
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes optional for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Generously apply salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides of the chicken thighs.
- Add some olive oil to a heavy-bottomed, oven-safe pan over medium-high heat and sear the chicken thighs on both sides.
- Once they’ve developed a nice crust, remove them from the pan and set aside.
- Turn the heat down to low. Add the garlic and tomatoes. Stir until the tomatoes blister and then add the entire block of feta to the center of the pan.
- Bake at 425 for 20 minutes, OR until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
- Remove from the oven. Scoot the chicken to the side (or just remove them from the pan) and stir the feta together with a fork and spoon it over the chicken.
- Top with lemon slices, freshly chopped basil, red pepper flakes and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve!
