Juicy chicken breasts glazed with spicy-sweet hot honey and topped with creamy, tangy feta and fresh thyme. This quick and flavorful one-pan meal combines caramelized honey heat with rich, savory cheese for a perfectly balanced dinner.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3 tablespoons hot honey

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for searing)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Drizzle chicken with olive oil and rub the spice mixture evenly on both sides.
  4. Heat a little olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
  5. Drizzle hot honey evenly over the chicken and let it bubble for 1 minute, coating the surface.
  6. Sprinkle crumbled feta and thyme over the top of each piece.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and feta is slightly golden.
  8. Let rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute and glaze to set.

Notes

Add lemon juice or wedges before baking for brightness.

Mix chili flakes or cayenne into the honey for extra heat.

Use chicken thighs for a juicier variation; increase baking time slightly.

Add cherry tomatoes or red onions to the skillet for a complete one-pan meal.

Reheat leftovers in the oven to maintain texture and flavor.
