Description
Crispy Hot Honey Feta Chicken combines seared, juicy chicken breasts with a sweet and spicy hot honey glaze and creamy, tangy crumbled feta, creating a comforting yet exciting dish.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons hot honey
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Drizzle the hot honey over the chicken and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
- Bake for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the honey to bubble.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
- Adjust the hot honey to control the spice level.
- Use goat cheese or blue cheese as alternatives to feta.
- Boneless chicken thighs can be used for a juicier texture.
- Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- Not recommended for freezing due to texture changes.
