Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha or chili paste
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 ounces Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the honey, Sriracha, and red pepper flakes to create the hot honey glaze. Set aside.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry. Rub them lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish.
- Brush half of the hot honey glaze evenly over the tops of the chicken breasts.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven. Brush the remaining glaze over the chicken. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over each piece.
- Return the chicken to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit) and the feta is slightly softened and lightly golden.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the glaze for 30 minutes before baking.
- Use chicken thighs if you prefer darker meat; adjust baking time slightly.
- Serve this dish over rice, quinoa, or with a fresh green salad.
