Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 200 g feta cheese, crumbled Can substitute with goat cheese for a different flavor.
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil Can skip, but helps in coating the chicken.
- 3 tablespoons hot sauce Adjust according to desired heat level.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste Taste the sauce before adding salt due to feta's saltiness.
- Fresh parsley for garnish Used just before serving.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, hot sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the hot honey mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
Baking
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh parsley just before serving.
Notes
Cool the chicken to room temperature before storing it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For reheating, use the oven at 325°F (160°C) for best results.
