Sweet & Savory Delight: Honey Cranberry Chicken Bake with Feta Cheese

Learn how to make delicious Honey Cranberry Chicken Bake with Feta Cheese. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gather these simple ingredients, and you’re halfway to a comforting meal:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

If fresh cranberries aren’t available, dried cranberries will work too. Just soak them in a bit of warm water before using to plump them up. And if you’re out of balsamic vinegar, a mix of red wine vinegar and a touch of sugar can do the trick.

Instructions

Let’s get cooking with these simple steps:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper on both sides.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the honey and balsamic vinegar until well combined.
  4. Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and drizzle the honey-balsamic mixture over them.
  5. Scatter the cranberries around the chicken. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and sprinkle the feta cheese over the chicken.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is slightly melted.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

Pro tip: If you like a bit of crispiness, broil the dish for the last few minutes to give the feta a golden finish.
