Broiled Artichoke Chicken With Feta (Printable view)

Golden broiled chicken with artichokes, feta, and herbs makes a quick Mediterranean meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Poultry

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)

→ Marinade

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons lemon juice
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Topping

08 - 1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
09 - 2/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
10 - 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), sliced
11 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
12 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil it.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
03 - Place chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides generously with the marinade, ensuring even coverage.
04 - Broil chicken for 7–8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Internal temperature should reach 165°F.
05 - Remove chicken from the oven. Top each breast evenly with artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese.
06 - Return to the broiler for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese is slightly golden and bubbly.
07 - Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and basil. Serve immediately with lemon rice or a crisp green salad.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything happens on one sheet pan, meaning less cleanup and more time to actually enjoy dinner
  • The Mediterranean flavors taste like something you would order at a restaurant but come together in under 40 minutes
02 -
  • Broilers vary wildly in intensity, so check the chicken after 5 minutes on the first side to avoid burning
  • Pat the artichoke hearts completely dry with paper towels or the topping will be watery instead of crisp
03 -
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after broiling so the juices redistribute
  • Room temperature chicken cooks more evenly than cold straight from the fridge
