Enjoy a flavorful Hot Honey Feta Chicken, featuring marinated chicken breasts in a sweet and spicy honey blend, topped with creamy feta cheese, and baked to perfection. This dish is sure to impress with its delightful combination of tastes!

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

For the Feta Topping:

  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Black pepper, to taste

For the Marinade:

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Serving:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 lemon, sliced (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine honey, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Feta Topping: In a small bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  4. Bake the Chicken: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place marinated chicken in a baking dish, top with feta mixture, and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  5. Finish and Serve: Let the chicken rest, garnish with parsley, and serve warm with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
  • Grilling the chicken can add a smoky flavor; monitor the feta to prevent burning.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like goat cheese or sharp cheddar for a unique twist.
