Main Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients. Ensure that the chicken breasts are completely thawed and pat them dry with paper towels.
Cooking the Chicken
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and oregano. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the chicken breasts in the pan, searing them for about 3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.
Feta Mixture
- In a bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese with Greek yogurt. Stir until creamy.
Hot Honey Mixture
- In another bowl, whisk together honey, hot sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and the remaining olive oil.
Assembling
- Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and spread the feta mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
Baking
- Drizzle the hot honey mixture over the feta-covered chicken. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
Finishing Touches
- Once cooked through, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
