Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless, cut into long strips)
  • 1 red bell pepper (cut into strips)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 ounces feta cheese (crumbled)
  • lemon wedges (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Tongs or spoon for tossing

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, minced garlic, lemon zest, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until combined.
  3. Add the chicken strips and sliced red bell pepper to the bowl and toss well to coat everything evenly in the honey-lemon mixture.
  4. Arrange the coated chicken and pepper strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure items are not crowded.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the peppers are tender.
  6. Remove the sheet from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle crumbled feta over the chicken and peppers.
  7. Serve warm with lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over the dish.

Notes

  • Cut chicken strips to similar sizes so they cook evenly.
  • Do not crowd the pan to allow roasting and caramelization.
  • Use fresh lemon for best flavor.
  • Add other vegetables like zucchini or red onion if desired.
  • Crumbled feta adds a salty finish and is recommended.
