Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- ½ cup hot honey (ready-made or homemade blend)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s fully preheated before baking.
- Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Coat both sides evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Sear for Flavor: Warm the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the pan and cook for about 5 minutes per side, allowing a golden crust to form.
- Add the Toppings: Once the chicken is nicely browned, scatter the crumbled feta over each piece. Spoon or drizzle the hot honey generously across the top.
- Finish in the Oven: Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the thickest part of the chicken registers 165°F (75°C).
- Rest and Garnish: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest briefly. Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs before serving.
- Serve: Plate the chicken and spoon any melted feta and honey sauce from the pan over the top for extra flavor. Enjoy immediately while warm and juicy.
