Make this easy baked hot honey feta chicken for a weeknight dinner that balances sweet, spicy, and savory flavors. This simple recipe delivers tender chicken with a flavorful glaze and creamy feta topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (like sriracha or your favorite chili sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar to create the hot honey glaze.
  4. Brush half of the hot honey glaze evenly over the tops of the chicken breasts.
  5. Bake the chicken for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the dish from the oven. Brush the remaining hot honey glaze over the chicken. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over each piece of chicken.
  7. Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the feta is slightly softened and lightly golden.
  8. Let the hot honey feta chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, use a feta cheese packed in brine.
  • If you prefer a crispier edge, place the baking dish under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • Serve this sweet and spicy chicken over rice or alongside roasted Mediterranean vegetables for a complete meal.
