  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup hot honey
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for extra heat

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. Lower heat to medium. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in hot honey and stir for 2 minutes until sauce thickens. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
  3. Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over the top. Sprinkle feta cheese over chicken and cover for 2 minutes to melt cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh feta for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for more juiciness.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
  • Serve with vegetables, rice, or quinoa for a complete meal.
