Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
1 lemon, sliced (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in honey, red wine vinegar, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Let the sauce bubble for 1 minute.
- Return chicken to the skillet and spoon hot honey sauce over each piece.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta evenly over the chicken.
- Transfer skillet to the oven and bake 10–15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and feta is slightly golden.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.
Notes
For extra heat, drizzle with hot honey or add more red pepper flakes before serving.
Add cherry tomatoes or olives to the pan for a Mediterranean touch.
Use boneless chicken thighs for a juicier variation.
Stir in a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or cream for a creamier sauce.
Serve with rice, roasted potatoes, or salad for a complete meal.
