1 1/4 pounds boneless chicken breast halves with skin
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano
3 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel, divided

Coarse kosher salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 ounces feta cheese, coarsely crumbled

1
Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; pound with meat mallet to 1/2- to 3/4-inch thickness. Place chicken in 11 x 7 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with oregano, 2 teaspoons lemon peel, garlic, and pepper. Turn to coat. Cover and let stand 1 hour at room temperature.

Grill chicken until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Grill carrots until tender and grill marks appear, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to cutting board. Transfer carrots to large bowl. Drizzle carrots with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and honey. Add cilantro and remaining 1 teaspoon lemon peel; toss to coat. Season with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. Slice chicken on diagonal. Arrange on platter, surround with grilled carrots, and sprinkle with crumbled feta.
