Units Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

For the Topping:

  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1–2 tsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
  4. Make the Honey Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, hot sauce, and lemon juice.
