Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken dry and pound to an even thickness if needed.

Mix salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, and half the thyme. Rub evenly over chicken.

Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden.

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine hot honey, garlic, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and butter. Warm gently for 2–3 minutes.

Pour two-thirds of the hot honey mixture over chicken. Sprinkle feta evenly on top and add cherry tomatoes if using.

Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Let it rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle the remaining hot honey glaze over top and garnish with parsley and remaining thyme before serving.
