Greek Chicken with Feta Tomato Salsa

Greek Chicken with Feta Tomato Salsa is one of my favorite weeknight recipes. This delicious dinner comes together in under an hour. I have sort of a love/hate relationship when it comes to chicken. I love that it is inexpensive and there are so many different recipes to make chicken incredible. On the other hand, I hate chicken because it is so easy to cook a bad piece. A dry piece of chicken will just not do! These chicken breasts are roasted in lemon juice, keeping the chicken super moist and flavorful. I usually serve it with oven-roasted potatoes and a garden salad. Next time you are wondering what to make on a busy weeknight, remember this recipe. You won’t be disappointed!

Should I Use Fresh herbs for My Baked Greek Chicken?

While some feel that it is easier to use dried herbs because they have a much longer shelf life when I am making this Baked Greek Chicken, I like to use fresh herbs. Using fresh herbs with this recipe gives it the best flavor If you must use dried herbs, remember that you need much less of the dried herbs in order to get the same flavor. The best way to know if your dried herbs are going to give you the same punch of flavor is to check when you bought them. Herbs will lose their flavor in a year. Also, you want your dried herbs to have color and not look like bland dried brown leaves.
