Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons hot honey
- 1⁄2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
- Rub them with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Preheat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of olive oil.
- Sear chicken breasts for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Lower the heat and drizzle hot honey over the chicken.
- Baste with a spoon and let the honey bubble for 1–2 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from oven, top with crumbled feta and thyme.
- Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Let the chicken rest before serving so the juices redistribute and the feta softens into the glaze.
- Use an oven-safe skillet to simplify the transition from stove to oven.
- Adjust the heat by using more or less red pepper flakes in your hot honey.
