Ingredients
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons hot honey
3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary chopped (or thyme)
1 tablespoon lemon juice optional
Instructions
1. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden.
3. In a small bowl, mix hot honey and minced garlic to create the glaze.
4. Place the seared chicken in a baking dish. Pour the hot honey mixture over the top.
5. Sprinkle with crumbled feta and tuck rosemary around the chicken.
6. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes until internal temp reaches 165°F.
7. Optional: Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra caramelization.
8. Let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with lemon juice and extra herbs before serving.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and ensure juiciness.
Don’t skip the searing step — it creates a flavor-packed crust.
If you don’t have hot honey, mix regular honey with chili flakes or sriracha.
