- Salt and pepper, to taste
Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Instructions
- Making the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine honey, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- Marinating the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preparing the Feta Mixture: Combine crumbled feta cheese with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Baking the Chicken: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place marinated chicken in a baking dish, top with feta mixture, and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Finishing and Serving: Let chicken rest, garnish with parsley, and serve warm with lemon wedges.
Notes
- For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Grilling the chicken can add a smoky flavor; monitor the feta to prevent burning.
- Experiment with different cheeses like goat cheese or sharp cheddar for a unique twist.
