Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken:
- Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste on both sides.
3. Prepare Feta Topping:
- In a medium bowl, crumble the feta cheese.
- Add the bread crumbs to the crumbled feta and mix well until combined.
4. Coat the Chicken:
- 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.
5. Bake the Chicken:
- 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.
6. Serve:
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the feta-crusted chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, a salad, or rice.

Tips:

- Make sure to pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels before applying the feta and bread crumb mixture. This helps the crust adhere better.

- For extra flavor, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs before adding the feta and bread crumbs.

- 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.
