Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 6 boneless chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly.

  3. Step 3: Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the feta is slightly golden and bubbly.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving to add freshness and color.
