I was in need of a quick chicken dish and an option to use feta! This is an awesome meal and JW said he'd eat it three times a week.

Greek chicken
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 T capers (You can use artichoke hearts!)
- 1/2 c red or yellow peppers, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Directions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat melt butter, add onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add chopped chicken and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium- low. Add capers, chopped peppers, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and dried oregano, to the large skillet. Cook until heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the feta and cook for another minute.
- Season with salt and ground black pepper. Serve warm.
