Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 to 1.25 lb total)
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (room temperature)
- 3–4 tablespoons honey
- 1/2–1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (omit if feta is salty)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: chopped fresh herbs for garnish (parsley, thyme, or oregano)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish or line it with parchment.
- Combine feta, honey, red pepper flakes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl until you have a chunky mixture.
- Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer in the baking dish, patting them dry first.
- Spoon the honey-feta mixture evenly over each breast, pressing gently to stick.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Tent with foil if browning too fast.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve with roasted vegetables, a green salad, or over a bed of spinach. Can substitute chicken breasts with thighs or use goat/cream cheese if feta isn’t available.
