Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
â…“ cup honey
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon butter
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet. Sear chicken until golden, ~3-4 minutes per side.
In a separate bowl, mix honey, red pepper flakes, apple cider vinegar, and butter for the hot honey glaze.
Mix feta cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, oregano, and olive oil for the feta sauce.
Pour honey glaze over the chicken in the skillet. Transfer to oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until internally cooked.
Let chicken rest, then top with feta sauce. Garnish with parsley and chili flakes (optional) before serving with lemon wedges.
Notes
For a shortcut, use rotisserie chicken. Substitute vegan feta or omit cheese for a lactose-free version. Adjust spice level in honey glaze to personal taste. Use avocado oil instead of butter for a dairy-free option.
