# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
02 -
3 tablespoons spicy honey
03 -
1/2 cup feta cheese, broken into chunks
04 -
1 tablespoon thyme leaves, fresh
→ Seasonings
05 -
1 teaspoon powder from garlic
06 -
1 teaspoon paprika with smoky flavor
07 -
1 tablespoon oil from olives
08 -
1/2 teaspoon regular salt
09 -
1/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
# How to Make It:
01 -
Grab some paper towels and completely dry off the chicken breasts to get rid of any extra moisture.
02 -
Brush the chicken with olive oil until fully coated, then sprinkle and rub in the garlic powder, smoky paprika, salt, and black pepper.
03 -
Pour a tiny bit of olive oil into a skillet that can go in the oven and warm it up over medium-high heat.
04 -
Drop the chicken into the hot skillet and cook each side for about 3 to 4 minutes until you see a nice golden crust forming.
05 -
Put the whole skillet into a 400°F (204°C) oven that's already hot and let the chicken cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a meat thermometer shows 165°F (74°C) inside.
06 -
Take the pan out of the oven, pour the spicy honey all over the chicken, then scatter the feta chunks and fresh thyme on top. Dish it up right away.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Let your chicken sit for a few minutes after taking it out of the oven - this keeps it juicy and lets all those tasty spicy honey and feta flavors sink in better.
