Description
Hot Honey Infused Feta Chicken is a delightful combination of savory and sweet, where tender, juicy chicken meets the tantalizing heat of hot honey and the creamy richness of feta cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 100g feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons hot honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- While the chicken is cooking, crumble the feta cheese in a bowl. Add a tablespoon of hot honey, a teaspoon of lemon juice, and some chopped fresh herbs. Mix well to combine.
- Once the chicken is seared, remove it from heat. Spoon the feta mixture generously over each chicken breast, ensuring it’s well covered.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- After removing the skillet from the oven, drizzle the remaining hot honey over the chicken for an extra kick of flavor.
- Garnish with additional fresh herbs and lemon wedges, then serve hot.
Notes
- This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or an impressive meal for guests.
- Adjust the amount of hot honey based on your spice preference.
