Description

This Greek Lemon Feta Chicken brings the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean straight to your table. The zesty lemon marinade infuses the chicken with a bright, tangy flavor, while the crumbled feta adds a creamy, salty contrast. Garnished with fresh parsley and optional kalamata olives, this dish is as beautiful as it is delicious.
