Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Toppings and Sauce
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup hot honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the chicken evenly.
- Mix Sauce: In a bowl, combine the hot honey, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, stirring thoroughly to create a flavorful coating for the chicken.
- Coat Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish then pour the honey mixture evenly over them, making sure each piece is well coated for maximum flavor infusion.
- Add Feta: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the coated chicken breasts for a creamy, tangy topping that will melt slightly during baking.

- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving to add a fresh herbal note and a pop of color.
