Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons hot honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary leaves
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Pat chicken breasts dry and pound them to an even thickness if needed.
3. Mix garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub seasoning all over the chicken.
4. (Optional) Sear the chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
5. Place chicken in baking dish and drizzle hot honey evenly over each piece.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. Add feta cheese on top in the last 5 minutes of baking.
8. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use block feta and crumble it fresh—it melts better and has more flavor than pre-crumbled.
Don’t skip resting the chicken after baking—it keeps it juicy and flavorful.
Broil for the last 2 minutes if you want a crispy finish on the honey glaze.
