Instructions

1. Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Stir in honey and red pepper flakes. Let it simmer for 1 minute until slightly thickened.

5. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon hot honey sauce over the top.

6. Sprinkle crumbled feta over chicken. Cover with a lid and let it sit for 1 minute until the feta softens.

7. Serve immediately with remaining sauce spooned over the top.

Notes

This dish tastes amazing over rice, polenta, or roasted vegetables.

If using chicken thighs, adjust cooking time for doneness and richness.

You can increase or reduce red pepper flakes to adjust the heat level.
