# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. On a large baking sheet, toss 1 lb broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste. Spread in a single layer. This sets up your Hot Honey Feta Chicken: Quick & High-Protein Dinner for success.
02 -
In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces) with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
03 -
Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the baking sheet with the broccoli, ensuring they are also in a single layer. Roast for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender-crisp.
04 -
While the chicken and broccoli roast, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot), and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. This sweet heat glaze is key to your Hot Honey Feta Chicken: Quick & High-Protein Dinner.
05 -
Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Transfer the chicken pieces to a clean bowl and pour the hot honey glaze over them. Toss gently to ensure all the chicken is well coated.
06 -
Return the glazed chicken to the baking sheet with the roasted broccoli. Sprinkle generously with 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese and 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped. Serve immediately for a delicious Hot Honey Feta Chicken: Quick & High-Protein Dinner.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispiness on the broccoli, ensure it's spread in a single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet. If needed, use two sheets.
02 -
Feel free to swap broccoli for other quick-cooking vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or asparagus. Adjust roasting time as needed.
03 -
This dish is fantastic on its own, but also pairs well with a side of quinoa, brown rice, or a light green salad for an even more complete meal.
04 -
