Skillet Greek Chicken is a quick chicken dish that's only on the stove for 30 minutes, so you'll be feasting in a snap! The feta cheese is really flavorful, so just a little does the trick for adding lots of flavor.

What You'll Need

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (3-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces and skin removed
1/2 cup crumbled fat-free feta cheese

What to Do

In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon parsley, the oregano, and pepper; mix well. Add the chicken and turn to coat evenly.
Heat a large skillet over high heat; brown the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon each of lemon juice and parsley, and the feta cheese; cover and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the cheese softens and the chicken is no longer pink.
