Description
Succulent chicken coated in a shimmering, sticky glaze that perfectly balances the fiery kick of chili with the golden sweetness of honey, meeting the salty, creamy indulgence of crumbled feta cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 lemon, sliced (for serving)
Instructions
- Pat dry the chicken breasts. Season generously on all sides with salt, pepper, and oregano.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust spice level if desired.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place seasoned chicken breasts into the hot skillet. Sear for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
- Reduce heat to low. Pour the prepared honey-vinegar glaze over the cooked chicken, tossing to coat each piece thoroughly. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Transfer the glazed chicken to serving plates. Garnish with crumbled feta, chopped parsley, and lemon slices. Serve immediately.
