This Caesar Chicken with Feta recipe combines the classic flavors of Caesar salad with a delicious Mediterranean twist. Juicy, tender chicken breasts are marinated in a tangy Caesar dressing and grilled to perfection, then topped with creamy feta cheese for a burst of flavor. The dish is perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner, and pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables. The savory and slightly salty feta complements the rich Caesar dressing, making every bite a delightful experience.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine the Caesar dressing, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken breasts, making sure they are well coated with the marinade.
- Cover the bowl or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
- Grill the Chicken:
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
- Add Feta Cheese:
- During the last 2 minutes of grilling, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken breasts.
- Close the grill lid to allow the cheese to melt slightly.
- Serve:
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
