Best Mediterranean Chicken With Feta Cheese Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN WITH FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring water to boil for pasta, then follow package instructions and check for doneness (since recipes always take me a little longer than the stated time, I don't usually start cooking the pasta at the very beginning!).
• Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
• Chop onions coarsely and add to pot.
• Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and add to pot.
• Raise heat to med-high.
• Cook until chicken is not pink on the outside (about 3 minutes).
• Add garlic, oregano, and basil and continue cooking chicken. Stir frequently.
• When chicken is cooked through, stir in wine and cook 1 minute.
• Add tomatoes with juice and continue cooking a few minutes until it becomes less juicy.
• Stir in feta cheese and kalamata olives.
• Garnish with parsley.
• Serve over hot drained orzo -- sometimes I mix it all together.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN THIGHS WITH POTATOES, PEPPERS AND FETA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degree F. Heat a large, high-sided, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the skin side of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to the hot pan and place the chicken in the pan, skin-side down. Sprinkle the other side of the chicken with salt and pepper. Let the chicken cook until it easily releases from the pan and is golden brown, about 8 minutes. Flip the chicken and allow to cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Turn the heat down to medium and add the onion, peppers and red pepper flakes and sprinkle with salt. Let the vegetables cook, stirring regularly, until slightly wilted, about 3 minutes. The natural liquid from the vegetables will help deglaze the pan. Add in the potatoes and garlic and sprinkle with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for an additional 3 minutes. Add in the tomatoes, vinegar, oregano, thyme and artichoke hearts. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and nestle the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables.
• Transfer the pan to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees F and the potatoes are fork tender, about 35 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle with feta cheese and parsley.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN SHEET PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Whisk olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, vinegar, tarragon, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add chicken thighs, onion, baby bell peppers, and potatoes. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
• Transfer vegetable-chicken mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Scatter lemon slices over the vegetables, making sure to leave the chicken uncovered so that the skin will brown.
• Bake in preheated oven for about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and top with feta, parsley, and olives.
