  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha or hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds. Stir in honey and sriracha, cooking for 1 minute to create the spicy honey glaze.
  3. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the glaze over it, and sprinkle with feta cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld flavors. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to control spice level.
  • Use feta cheese or substitute with ricotta salata, cotija, or shredded mozzarella if desired.
  • For extra crispy chicken, consider air frying instead of skillet cooking.
