Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

- Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Evenly distribute the feta mixture over the tops of the chicken breasts, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake the chicken breasts for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the feta topping is golden brown and crispy.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- If you prefer a more golden crust, you can spray the chicken with a little bit of cooking oil prior to baking.
- Serve the Feta-crusted chicken breasts with a side of fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
