Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 to 1¼ lb total)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and position a rack in the center.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then rub both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the chicken and sear without moving for 4–5 minutes until a deep golden crust forms; flip and sear the other side for another 4–5 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet (or move the chicken to a baking dish) and arrange breasts in a single layer.
- Drizzle the hot honey evenly over each breast.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta over the chicken, covering as much surface as you like.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute feta with a tangy almond feta or omit it and add a squeeze of lemon at the end. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
