Method- Step01
Marinate the chicken: combine chicken with feta brine, olive oil, oregano, paprika, garlic, and pepper. Marinate at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours). No salt needed — the brine provides plenty.
- Step02
Preheat oven to 400°F. Remove chicken from marinade, pat slightly dry, and discard the marinade.
- Step03
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken until golden, 3–4 minutes per side, then set aside.
- Step04
Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil with the shallot and garlic; sauté 1–2 minutes. Deglaze with white wine, scraping up browned bits, and reduce by half.
- Step05
Add the chicken broth and lemon juice. Scatter crumbled feta around the pan, then add sundried tomatoes and honey.
- Step06
Nestle the chicken back in, spooning sauce over top. Bake uncovered 18–20 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Step07
Rest 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh basil and the reserved crumbled feta.
