Preparation Steps

  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Rub with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Heat the skillet over medium-high heat, adding olive oil. Once shimmering, place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  • Reduce heat to medium and drizzle the hot honey over the chicken, basting it with a spoon. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  • Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle crumbled feta and thyme over the chicken.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with a fresh side salad or roasted vegetables to balance the sweetness.
