Chicken Mediterranean Style
3 boneless chicken breasts, pounded to about 1/2 to 1/4 inch flat
coconut oil
1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
1/2 of a large bunch of fresh parsley
1 bunch of fresh mint (if you are buying it in the store, one small container will do)
Large pinch of dried oregano
Juice from 1 lemon
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Place about a tablespoon of coconut oil into a skillet over medium high heat. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper then add chicken to skillet. Cook until browned on each side about 5 minutes per side. Remove cooked chicken and place on a serving platter and cover with foil, keep warm. Remove any excess oil, add tomatoes with juice, parsley and mint. Reduce heat and stir, add lemon juice and oregano. Let simmer until juices reduce. Once ready to plate add feta cheese to pan and stir. Some of the crumbles will slightly melt. Remove from heat. Place a chicken breast on a plate and top with tomato mixture.
