Ingredients:

Serving

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 lbs.)
1 grated lemon , juice and zest of
1 cup dry white wine
2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano (plus more for garnish)
1/2 tsp sea salt , plus more to taste
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper , plus more to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 small onion, diced
4 plum tomatoes, cored and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup pitted greek olive
6 fresh basil leaves , cut into thin strips, plus more for garnish
2 oz feta cheese, cut into 1/4 inch cubes (about 1/2 cup)

Directions:

Rinse the chicken breasts under cool water, pat dry and place in a shallow glass baking dish.
Stir the lemon zest, juice, wine, oregano, salt and pepper together and pour over the chicken, rubbing it into all sides.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Bring to room temperature before cooking.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet, until butter melts and is sizzling. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, RESERVING the marinade to make the sauce. Brown the chicken in the hot skillet, turning only once, about 4 to 5 minutes per side, until lightly browned on both sides. Transfer to a platter, loosely cover and keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
Add the onion and tomato to the pan you cooked the chicken in.Reduce the heat and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent and the tomatoes soften and release liquid. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the reserved marinade and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Return the chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Add the olives and basil and simmer on low for 5 to 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and feels firm to the touch.
Transfer to a hot platter or individual plates. Spoon sauce over each breast and scatter with the feta cubes. Garnish with additional fresh basil and oregano leaves. Serve warm.
