Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley finely chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges for a refreshing finish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  • Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add honey and red pepper flakes to the skillet, mixing well. Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the hot honey mixture. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  • Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes
