How to Make Oopah Feta Chicken Breasts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking pan with vegetable cooking spray.
  2. Pierce chicken breasts several times with a fork.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking pan. Pour lemon juice mixture over chicken, ensuring both sides are coated.
  5. Evenly top each chicken breast with 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes, and 2 tablespoons chopped scallions. Reserve some scallion greens for garnish.
  6. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables.
  7. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Garnish with reserved chopped scallion greens and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
  9. For extra zing, drizzle with a small amount of additional lemon juice before serving.
  10. Serve immediately with crusty bread and butter, and a side of your favorite green vegetable. We recommend steamed green beans tossed with 1 tablespoon melted butter and a pinch of oregano.
  11. Enjoy!
