Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust based on spice preference)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Salt to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, hot sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Whisk well to create a marinade. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they're well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

        Bake the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the prepared baking dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

          Add Feta: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken to allow it to soften and get slightly golden.

            Rest and Garnish: Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra zing.

              Serve: This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your deliciously spicy and sweet hot honey feta chicken!
