  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup hot honey (or honey with hot sauce)
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust for heat)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Let sit for a few minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to low and pour in hot honey. Stir to combine and simmer gently.
  4. Add crumbled feta cheese to the skillet and stir until it begins to melt, creating a creamy, spicy sauce.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it thoroughly with the feta glaze. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until heated through and fully coated.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes based on your spice preference.
  • Use chicken thighs for juicier, more flavorful meat.
  • Serve with rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
