Description
Juicy, golden-seared chicken breasts topped with creamy feta and finished with a sweet-spicy drizzle of hot honey. Perfect for any night of the week.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- Fresh herbs (parsley, mint, or basil), for garnish
- Lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- Pat chicken breasts dry. Rub with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let sit while preheating your skillet or oven.
- Heat an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Sear chicken 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Do not cook through.
- Turn off the heat. Sprinkle feta over each piece. For extra melt, broil 1-2 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
- In a small saucepan or microwave bowl, heat honey and chili flakes for 30 seconds. Stir and drizzle hot honey over chicken.
- Transfer to plates. Garnish with herbs and lemon zest if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs if preferred—adjust cook time as needed.
- Control spice level by adjusting chili flakes or substituting with hot sauce.
- Great served with couscous, roasted vegetables, or a fresh tomato cucumber salad.
