Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

For the Hot Honey Feta Topping:

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1–2 teaspoons red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika evenly on both sides. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust.
  2. Prepare the Hot Honey Feta Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the crumbled feta cheese, honey, and red pepper flakes until well combined, creating a spicy-sweet mixture.
  3. Bake the Chicken: After searing, remove the skillet from heat. Spoon the hot honey feta mixture evenly over each chicken breast. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to guarantee it is safely cooked.
  • Use an oven-safe skillet to easily transfer from stovetop to oven without needing to move the chicken to another dish.
  • Letting the chicken rest before serving helps retain its juices for a tender bite.
