GREEK CHICKEN WITH TOMATO, OLIVE, AND FETA TOPPING

Steps:

• Trim any visible fat or undesirable parts from each chicken breast, then score the top with small diagonal cuts that criss-cross, being careful not to cut too far into the chicken so you can still turn them when you cook.
• Mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and minced garlic.
• Remove 1/4 cup of that mixture and set aside for the topping later.
• Put scored chicken pieces into a glass baking dish or a Ziploc bag and marinate in the refrigerator at least one hour or as long as all day.
• When you're ready to cook, take the chicken out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature while you cut up the olives and tomatoes.
• Gently mix together the cut tomatoes, olives, crumbled Feta and reserved marinade.
• Heat about 1 tsp. additional olive oil in a large heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. (I used a 12-inch cast-iron skillet (affiliate link) which is great for stovetop browning of meat.)
• Remove chicken from the marinade and arrange in frying pan so they aren't crowded, scored side down.
• Cook 3-4 minutes on the top side, or until nicely brown, then turn and cook another 3-4 minutes on the second side. Chicken should feel firm (but not hard) to the touch when it's done.
• Season chicken to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper. (Remember the Feta is salty, so I wouldn't use too much salt.)
• Arrange chicken on a platter or on individual serving plates and spoon over the tomato, olive, and Feta topping. Serve hot.

CHICKEN WITH OLIVES AND FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons drippings from skillet.
• Add onion to drippings in skillet. Sauté over medium heat 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes with juices, olives, wine and oregano. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to sauce; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until chicken is tender and cooked through, about 25 minutes.
• Transfer chicken and sauce to platter. Sprinkle with feta cheese and serve.

GRILLED GREEK CHICKEN BREASTS WITH WHIPPED FETA

Steps:

• Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise.

Pour in ¼ cup olive oil and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 12 hours, but 2 to 3 hours is ideal.
• Place Greek yogurt in another bowl and crumble in feta cheese. Add garlic, mint, and lemon zest and whip with an electric hand mixer or whisk until light and fluffy. Taste and adjust as needed. Refrigerate until needed.
• Preheat a charcoal grill until coals are white and very hot.
• Grill chicken over the hot coals for about 4 minutes per side; continue to flip and grill chicken until no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each piece reads at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C). Remove from the grill and let rest for about 5 minutes.
• Spread whipped feta onto a serving platter or plate and place chicken over top. Sprinkle with fresh Italian parsley and mint and serve.
