Greek-Style Chicken Breasts Recipe (2024)

I just finished eating this and I am very impressed! My picky husband also loved it! He described it as tasting like a supreme pizza. Cooking light did not let me down!

I made this tonight, with a few variations, nothing major. I do not have a grill pan and since it was raining out I was not going to use the grill. I cooked the chicken in half of the olive oil, in my electric skillet, when it was cooked on both sides I removed it and then added the ingredients as directed. I used pink Himalayan salt instead of kosher salt (better for you), I used fresh garlic and I used a seasoning blend of diced onions, red & green peppers. I get a big bag of it from Sam's Club. I doubled the tomato. I did not have fresh parsley so I used 2 tsps of crushed parsley. I also doubled the lemon juice. I then returned the chicken to the skillet, covered it and let it simmer with all the ingredients for about 20 minutes. The chicken came out nice and juicy. I really enjoyed the flavors. My older son said it was ok, he is not a fan of olives, so next time I will probably leave them out. My younger son liked it. I served it with wild rice and green beans.

Good recipe, quick and easy to prepare. I grilled the breasts (sprinkled with oregano too) on our Traeger grill while preparing the rest of the meal. We both agreed that next time there will be a bit less onion and a bit more tomato. We served this with roasted garlic couscous and steamed broccoli. A great meal on a busy work night. Will make again.

Really good and easy too. The tomatoe, onion, olive mixture is delicious. I'll be making this one again for sure.

Loved this recipe. Added 1 tbs capers and 1 tbs balsamic vinegar and it was wonderful. Even my husband who thinks he doesn't like olives and capers loved it. Will definitely make again!

I enjoy this recipe. Good mixture of texture and flavor.

My husband and I are big fans of greek cuisine. This recipe is delicious and have added to our regular house menu. The only change I made was substituting a can of black olives for the kalamata olives...I like them but the hubby doesn't. if you do like the kalamata olives there is a band that comes in a glass jar that is great...Mezzetta is the name.

I have made this recipe twice already for guests. For some reason the kalamata olives have an aftertaste that I don't like too much, like some kind of over ripen fruit. But maybe is the brand I used? Or is the olive supposed to be that way? I think next time I'll try black olives, or another brand of kalamata. I think this is a very good recipe, and the potatoes are outstanding! A keeper for our family.

This was a decent recipe. I probably won't make again, but I was glad to have made it once. The flavors were good. I roasted the potatoes too, really good!

This was very good. I will make it again and reduce the time cooked for the chicken. I am always afraid of undercooking chicken. The tomato mixture was delish. Very quick preparation.

Sounds delicious. Haven't made this yet but based on other reviews I'll pound the chicken to an even thickness which, for me, helps prevent the dryness and toughness. Sorry for the star rating but couldn't post this without them. I based it on what I thought it might taste like with the changes I'd make.

Didn't really care for this. Grilled the chicken on a grill, rather than a grill pan and they tasted rather dry with little flavor. The tomato/olive mixture was okay but just not as much flavor as I would've expected. Made the potatoes as well but roasted them; they were just okay. Won't make it again.

This didn't mesh together as well as expected. Unfortunately the chicken breasts we had were very tough. Perhaps it would have turned out better otherwise.

Very tasty! Made with the Herbed Gold Potatoes (roasted), and green peas. A great combination of flavors.

Good flavor, all of the vegetables and its juices where an amazing touch of flavorfullness. I marinated the chicken breast with a bit of olive olive oil 2 hrs before cooking so they are juicy.

This recipe was awesome! I tried it for the first time tonite and it turned out great! Of course, mine wasn't as pretty as the one pictured above, but it was still great! Only thing I did a little different was added more lemon juice to the onion and tomato mix to cut back on the amount of olive oil used. I also used purple onions in place of the olives.

Absolutely delicious, despite rather weird substitutions. Had no tomatoes, neither fresh nor canned. The only product I had with tomato in it was a little bit of chili sauce; Got every bit out by rinsing the bottle, and then followed the recipe, excerpt I used fresh lemon thyme as that is what I had on hand. Otherwise, followed directions. Roasted the potatoes and they too were really good. Forgot a green vegetable, but next time I will add that too...whatever I have on hand. This recipe is worth repeating.

Just made this tonite. We pounded the breasts and put them on the grill. Not the least bit dried out. Tomato mixture was very good. Definitely worth making again.....super easy.

It's easy to overcook and dry out the chicken by grilling it real fast this way (at least with an electric grill, like a Foreman, which is what I used), but the tomato-olive-onion mixture is really good.
