Hot Honey Feta Chicken is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish featuring juicy chicken breasts topped with creamy feta cheese and a sweet, spicy drizzle of hot honey. This recipe combines simple ingredients for a delightful balance of savory, spicy, and sweet flavors that come together in a quick sear or bake, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons hot honey

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic to infuse flavor.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Alternatively, bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked.
  3. Add Toppings: Once cooked, remove the chicken from heat and top each breast with crumbled feta cheese. Then, drizzle hot honey generously over the feta and chicken to add a sweet and spicy finish.
  4. Serve: Serve the chicken warm immediately, allowing the heat to slightly soften the feta and meld the flavors with the hot honey drizzle.

Notes

  • You can bake the chicken instead of searing if you prefer a hands-off approach.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey to your preferred level of sweetness and spiciness.
  • Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, ensure that your hot honey is certified gluten-free.
