Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp dried oregano, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper until combined.
  2. Step 2: Add 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours.
  3. Step 3: Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing evenly.
  4. Step 4: Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the edges start to brown slightly.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese over the hot chicken. Let it rest for 5 minutes so the feta softens.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving for a bright, fresh finish.
