Description

Sweet, spicy, and creamy, this Hot Honey Feta Chicken recipe will elevate your dinner with bold flavors and simple steps.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled

  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 12 tsp hot sauce (like sriracha or chili flakes, to taste)

  • Chopped parsley or thyme, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

  2. Cook the Chicken:
    Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. You can also check the internal temperature, which should reach 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. Make the Feta-Cream Cheese Mixture:
    In a small mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Mix well until the ingredients are smooth and creamy.

  4. Prepare the Hot Honey Glaze:
    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey and hot sauce (adjust the amount of hot sauce to your taste). Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened.

  5. Assemble the Dish:
    Spread the feta-cream cheese mixture generously on top of each chicken breast. Drizzle the hot honey glaze over the top.

  6. Bake:
    Transfer the skillet with the chicken back into the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes, just until the cheese starts to melt and the glaze is bubbly.

  7. Garnish and Serve:
    Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley or thyme. Serve hot with your favorite side dish!
