Description

This Crispy Hot Honey Feta Chicken recipe combines tender seared chicken breasts with a bold and sweet-spicy hot honey glaze, topped with creamy crumbled feta cheese for a deliciously unique flavor. The chicken is first pan-seared for a crispy exterior, then finished in the oven to juicy perfection, making it a perfect weeknight dinner that’s easy to prepare and full of vibrant taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Topping

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons hot honey
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare it for baking the chicken.
  2. Season Chicken. Rub the chicken breasts evenly on both sides with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to add flavor and enhance the crust during searing.
  3. Sear Chicken. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts for 3 to 4 minutes per side until they develop a golden brown and crispy exterior.
  4. Bake Chicken. Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
  5. Add Toppings. Remove the chicken briefly to drizzle hot honey evenly over each piece, then sprinkle generously with crumbled feta cheese to add a sweet and tangy contrast.
  6. Finish Baking. Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to melt the feta and allow the hot honey to bubble and caramelize.
  7. Garnish and Serve. Take the chicken out of the oven, garnish with fresh parsley to add color and freshness, then serve immediately while hot for the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) to guarantee it’s safe to eat.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey based on your preferred spice level.
  • Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • For a crunchier crust, you can briefly broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
