Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Feta Topping

  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Hot Honey Sauce

  • 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)

Garnish and Serving

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 lemon, sliced (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides to enhance the flavor.
  2. Make the hot honey sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil if needed, then place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown crust.
  4. Add the feta: Lower the heat and evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken breasts in the skillet.
  5. Pour the sauce: Drizzle the prepared hot honey sauce evenly over the chicken breasts and feta cheese.
  6. Simmer: Cover the skillet loosely with a lid and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the feta to soften and the flavors to meld together.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve with lemon slices on the side for added freshness and a citrusy kick.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to make the dish more or less spicy according to your preference.
  • If you don’t have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be used as a substitute, though fresh is preferable for garnish.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of roasted vegetables, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • Use full-fat feta for the creamiest texture.
  • To save time, chicken breasts can be butterflied or pounded thin for quicker cooking.
