Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 200 g feta cheese, crumbled If very salty, reduce added salt in the marinade.
  • 3 tablespoons honey Microwave for 8–10 seconds if thick or crystallized.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons hot sauce Adjust amount for desired spiciness.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, hot sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish, spacing them evenly. Pour the hot honey mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  4. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
Cooking
  1. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  3. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh parsley just before serving.
  2. Spoon any pan juices over the chicken when plating.

Notes

If marinating, do so for 30 minutes to 2 hours. For a crispier finish, broil the chicken for 1–2 minutes after baking. Refrigerate leftovers for 3–4 days or freeze for 2–3 months.
