Instructions
Creating Hot Honey Feta Chicken is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
2. Preheat Oven: While the chicken marinates, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
3. Sear Chicken: In an oven-safe skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
4. Add Feta: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
5. Drizzle Honey: Drizzle the hot honey over the feta-covered chicken, ensuring each piece is generously coated.
6. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
8. Serve: Plate the chicken and drizzle any remaining hot honey from the pan over the top for added flavor.
These steps will guide you in creating an incredible Hot Honey Feta Chicken that is sure to impress everyone at the table.
