Hot Honey Infused Feta Chicken (Print Version)
Sear chicken, glaze with hot honey, finish with crumbled feta and thyme for bold, balanced flavor in one pan.
# Ingredients:
01 -
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 -
3 tablespoons hot honey
03 -
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
04 -
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
08 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
09 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
# Directions:
01 -
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Rub with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
02 -
Preheat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of olive oil.
03 -
Sear the chicken breasts for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
04 -
Lower the heat and drizzle hot honey over the chicken. Baste with a spoon and let the honey bubble for 1–2 minutes.
05 -
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).
06 -
Remove from oven, top with crumbled feta and thyme. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Let the chicken rest before serving so the juices redistribute and the feta softens into the glaze.
02 -
Use an oven-safe skillet to simplify the transition from stove to oven.
03 -
Adjust the heat by using more or less red pepper flakes in your hot honey.
