It can be served over pasta or rice or with a big salad for a lower-carb meal. Simple ingredients and super easy prep make this versatile recipe a keeper.

We love our baked feta chicken meal for a super easy weeknight dinner.

The basic premise couldn’t be simpler: roasting a block of feta with fresh cherry or grape tomatoes to create a delicious creamy sauce that’s as tasty as it is easy. We added boneless skinless chicken breasts to add protein and make this easy dish a heartier family meal.

This whole dish cooks together in one baking pan, prepping in just 5 MINUTES, making it a super simple dinner that is PERFECT for a busy night – but delicious enough to serve to guests. The cleanup is a breeze too!

Ingredient Notes:

I used boneless chicken breasts in this recipe. You could substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs or chicken tenderloins. Just make sure to cook all chicken to a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F, measured on a meat thermometer.
