Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Pour in honey and stir. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Return chicken to skillet and spoon glaze over each piece. Let it absorb for a minute or two.
6. Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with crumbled feta and fresh parsley. Serve warm with extra glaze.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if needed for a proper sear.
You can swap feta with goat cheese or ricotta salata for variation.
Add a splash of lemon juice for a bright, acidic contrast.
