  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 lemon, sliced (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare 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.
  2. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the marinade and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more red pepper flakes for spice or honey for sweetness if desired.
  3. Marinate 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.
