Ingredients
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cup Greek salad dressing (see recipe notes)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup dry white wine (see recipe notes)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup additional Greek salad dressing
1/3 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon mustard powder
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup cherry tomatoes
½ cup mixed olives (black, green, kalamata)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thinner fillets. Place between plastic wrap and pound to ½ inch thickness.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, and place in a bag with ½ cup Greek dressing to marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Deglaze the pan with wine, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce by half.
Add garlic and butter, cooking until garlic is fragrant. Stir in additional Greek dressing, broth, honey, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until slightly thickened.
If skillet is not oven-proof, transfer sauce to a baking dish. Add chicken back to the dish, top with Feta, and scatter tomatoes and olives around the chicken.
Bake for 12 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
