Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp hot honey (or regular honey + pinch of chili flakes)
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- Optional: lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking, or heat a skillet over medium-high heat for stovetop cooking.
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- For stovetop: Heat olive oil in a large skillet and sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until fully cooked. For oven: Place chicken in a greased baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 20–25 minutes until cooked through.
- Drizzle hot honey over cooked chicken.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top while chicken is hot so it slightly melts.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with optional lemon wedges.
