  • 1/4 c pitted kalamata olives
  • 1/4 c minced fresh parsley

For the Chicken

  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves about 7 oz each

Prepare the Chicken

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large roasting pan over medium-high heat.
  • Season the chicken breasts with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Place the chicken in the hot pan and sear for about 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden. Remove the pan from the heat.

Notes

This Greek Chicken with Feta Tomato Salsa is naturally close to gluten free, but you should still verify that the feta cheese, olives, and any packaged ingredients are labeled gluten free, since some brands may vary or be processed in shared facilities. If serving the dish with sides such as pita, couscous, or grains, choose certified gluten-free options like rice, quinoa, or gluten-free flatbread instead. For anyone with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, use clean pans, utensils, platters, and serving tools to avoid cross-contact.
