Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup hot honey
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley or thyme)
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
- pinch of red pepper flakes
Pat chicken dry, season with salt, pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Chill for 30 minutes if possible.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken until golden on both sides.
In a small saucepan, warm hot honey with garlic and red pepper flakes to create a glaze.
Transfer chicken to an oven-safe dish, pour glaze on top, and bake at 375°F for 15–20 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165°F.
Sprinkle feta over hot chicken immediately to soften into a creamy topping.
Garnish with fresh herbs and cherry tomatoes, then serve hot.
1. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in hot honey for 1 hour before cooking.
2. Add more red pepper flakes for a spicier kick.
