Description
This Hot Honey Feta Chicken combines tender baked chicken breasts with a spicy-sweet hot honey glaze and crumbled feta for a flavor-packed, easy weeknight meal that’s ready in under 40 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1-2 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
- Pat chicken breasts dry and place them in the baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar to create the hot honey glaze.
- Brush half of the glaze over the chicken, reserving the rest for later.
- Bake the chicken for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from oven and brush with the remaining glaze. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.
- Return to the oven for 5 minutes, until the feta is slightly softened and golden.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Adjust the level of heat by varying the amount of hot sauce in the honey mixture.
- Serve with roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for extra juiciness.
