Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

Sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine the spices with the chicken.

Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for 2-3 minutes or until the feta starts to melt.

Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

For a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference.
