Description
This dish features tender chicken breasts drizzled with a spicy honey sauce, topped with creamy feta cheese for a delightful balance of heat and tanginess. Perfect for any weeknight meal!
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 200 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, hot sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the hot honey mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
4. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
5. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
6. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
7. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley just before serving.
Notes
Adjust the level of hot sauce to suit your spice preference.
Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
This dish can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge overnight; simply bake when ready to serve.
For a more Mediterranean flavor, add a sprinkle of fresh mint or dill before serving.
