# How to Make It:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
02 -
Taste the marinade and adjust seasoning to preference. Place chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over to coat, then seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to 4 hours.
03 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, stir together crumbled feta cheese, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
04 -
Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off and discard used marinade. Arrange chicken breasts in a baking dish and top evenly with the feta cheese mixture.
05 -
Place baking dish in oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the feta is golden and bubbling. Optionally, broil for the last 2 to 3 minutes to deepen the color.
06 -
Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm, drizzled with pan juices if desired.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Marinating the chicken for several hours enhances flavor and tenderness. Adjust red pepper flakes to taste for more or less heat.
