Description
Baked chicken breasts coated in a sweet-spicy hot honey glaze, finished with crumbled feta that turns golden and bubbly. A fast weeknight dinner that feels fancy but is simple.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 200 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, hot sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the hot honey mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh parsley just before serving.
Notes
- For a milder family dinner, start with less hot sauce and add more to taste at the end.
- Covering first keeps chicken juicy; uncovering at the end browns the feta.
- For meal prep, store with extra sauce and reheat gently so the glaze stays glossy.
