This Hot Honey Feta Chicken is a perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors. Tender chicken breasts are baked with a zesty hot honey sauce and topped with creamy feta cheese for a deliciously simple meal.

The image shows a close-up of a dish with four grilled chicken breasts that have a dark brown, charred texture with visible grill marks. The chicken sits on a layer of creamy white crumbled cheese, which has a soft and slightly crumbly texture. Fresh green parsley leaves are sprinkled on top and around the chicken, adding a fresh green color contrast. The dish is placed on a white plate set against a white marbled surface, and the lighting highlights the juicy, glazed look of the chicken and the softness of the cheese. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
200 g feta cheese, crumbled
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons hot sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, hot sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Step 3: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the hot honey mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Step 4: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
Step 5: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Step 6: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Step 7: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8: Garnish with fresh parsley just before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey mixture.
If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the hot sauce or substitute with a mild chili sauce.
Try using goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier texture and tangy flavor.
Serve over rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious sauce.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the chicken moist. Avoid reheating too long to prevent drying out the chicken.
