Ingredients:
Instructions:

- 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.

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
