Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika on both sides.
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C).
Add Garlic: In the last 2 minutes, add minced garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant.
Drizzle Hot Honey: Remove skillet from heat and drizzle hot honey evenly over chicken.
Top with Feta: Sprinkle crumbled feta generously over each chicken breast.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for brightness.

Notes

Adjust chili flakes in hot honey for preferred spice level.Marinating chicken in lemon juice and garlic adds tenderness.For a smoky flavor, grill chicken instead of pan-frying.Add vegetables like cherry tomatoes in the skillet for a colorful side.
