Ingredients

1- 1 ½ pounds chicken tenderloins
½ cup Greek salad dressing divided
4 Roma tomatoes diced (about 1 pound)
¾ cup feta cheese crumbled (Mediterranean herb flavor)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.
Lay the chicken tenderloins in a single layer on a plate. Drizzle ¼ cup of the Greek dressing over the chicken. If needed, use a pastry brush to spread evenly over the pieces.
1- 1 ½ pounds chicken tenderloins, ½ cup Greek salad dressing
Spray an 11x7 baking dish with cooking spray and add the tenderloins in a single layer.
Partially drain the liquid from the can of tomatoes, then empty the contents into a bowl. (Or just use the fresh Roma tomatoes, chopped) Add ¼ cup Greek dressing and stir to combine. Pour over the chicken in the pan to evenly cover.
4 Roma tomatoes
Sprinkle feta cheese over the top.
¾ cup feta cheese
Cover the pan with foil and bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until chicken is done.
Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Chicken breasts or thighs (boneless, skinless) may be substituted for the tenderloins. Cooking time may need to be adjusted to 40-45 minutes, depending upon the size of the pieces and how crowded the pan is. When in doubt, cook to an internal temperature of 165F.

Variation ideas: 1. add chopped red peppers to the tomato mixture. 2. substitute 4 chopped fresh Roma tomatoes for the canned tomatoes. 3. Chop 3-4 Kalamata olives and sprinkle over the feta cheese before baking.
