Description
A quick and flavorful recipe for Hot Honey Feta Chicken, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- While the chicken is cooking, in a small bowl, mix together the crumbled feta cheese, honey, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice until well combined.
- Once the chicken is seared, remove the skillet from heat and spread the feta mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the feta mixture.
- Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
