Tips:
- To achieve a crispy and flavorful chicken breast, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and salt for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a combination of cooking methods to ensure that the chicken is cooked thoroughly and evenly. Pan-searing followed by baking is a great way to achieve this.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and result in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- Serve the chicken with a variety of sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Chicken Athena is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a party appetizer. It is a great way to incorporate lean protein and healthy fats into your diet.
