Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts: 2 (about 6-8 oz each)
- Feta cheese: 4 ounces, crumbled
- Hot honey: 3 tablespoons
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Red pepper flakes: 1/2 teaspoon (or more to taste)
- Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- Dried oregano: 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt and black pepper: to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, combine hot honey, olive oil, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Step 3: Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Pour the hot honey mixture over the chicken, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Step 4: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Step 5: Remove from oven and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Step 6: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to avoid drying out the chicken, adding a splash of water or chicken broth for extra moisture.
- This dish pairs beautifully with a simple side of roasted vegetables or a fresh, crusty bread to soak up the extra hot honey sauce.
- For a richer flavor, try marinating the chicken in the hot honey mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking.
