Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Whisk honey, hot sauce, mustard, garlic powder, paprika, and lemon juice in a bowl
Place chicken breasts on a baking sheet; brush with 2 tablespoons honey glaze
Sear chicken in hot skillet with olive oil (45 seconds per side)
Transfer to oven and bake 20-25 minutes until cooked through
For the sauce: Mix feta, yogurt, dill, salt, and pepper
Spoon remaining glaze over chicken before serving
Notes
For extra glaze, reserve 1/4 cup of remaining sauce to drizzle
Substitute tahini for yogurt for nutty flavor
Can be prepped in advance; refrigerate chicken with glaze 30 minutes for better caramelization
