  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey (preferably raw for extra flavor)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to spice preference)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, hot sauce, and crumbled feta cheese until smooth.
  4. Pour the honey-feta mixture over the cooked chicken, turning to coat evenly. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before adding the sauce.
  • You can adjust the hot sauce amount to control spice level.
  • For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar.
