Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Marinate the chicken by combining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they are well coated. Let sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375°F) or your oven to 400°F.
  3. Cook the marinated chicken on the grill for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown, or bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until juices run clear.
  4. Add crumbled feta cheese during the last few minutes of cooking, allowing it to soften.
  5. Mix honey and red pepper flakes in a small bowl; drizzle generously over the cooked chicken before serving.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon slices if desired.
