Hot Honey Feta Chicken is a tantalizing dish that combines the sweetness of honey with the tanginess of feta cheese, creating a flavorful and comforting meal that is easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 lemon, sliced (for serving)

For the Marinade:

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Marinade – In a medium bowl, combine the honey, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together until well blended. The honey should dissolve into the oil and vinegar, creating a smooth marinade. Taste the marinade and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you like it spicier, feel free to add more red pepper flakes. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add a bit more honey. Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but for best results, let it marinate for 2 to 4 hours. This allows the flavors to penetrate the chicken, making it juicy and flavorful.

Notes

  • Experiment with different cheese options like goat cheese or cheddar for varied flavors.
  • For a smoky taste, try grilling the chicken instead of baking.
