Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even cooking, so your chicken becomes perfectly tender and juicy.
  • Whisk together the honey, hot sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until smooth; this silky glaze will add a delightful flavor to your chicken.
  • Coat the chicken breasts in a baking dish with the honey mixture. Make sure each piece is evenly covered to soak up all that delicious glaze.
  • Sprinkle crumbled feta generously over the chicken. The feta will melt beautifully, adding creaminess and tang to each bite.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. This step helps meld the flavors together beautifully.
  • Uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Look for the chicken to be cooked through and the feta to turn a lovely golden color.
  • Rest the chicken for 5 minutes after baking. This allows the juices to settle, keeping the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Garnish your dish with chopped parsley just before serving for a pop of color and freshness!

Notes

Optional: Serve with warm pita bread for an extra treat.
