Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red apple vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 lemon, sliced (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, red apple vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over it and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours).
  3. Prepare the Feta Mixture: In a small bowl, combine crumbled feta with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Bake: Remove excess marinade from chicken and place it in a baking dish. Spoon feta mixture evenly over each breast. Bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and feta is golden.
  6. Let Rest: Allow the chicken to rest for about five minutes before serving.
  7. Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve warm with lemon wedges.
