Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 cup hot honey (or regular honey + hot sauce to taste)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or neutral oil for frying

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and panko mixed with paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. Coat chicken in flour, dip in eggs, then press into panko mixture.

  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken on both sides until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).

  5. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until cooked through.

  6. While chicken bakes, warm the honey slightly and mix with hot sauce to desired heat level.

  7. Top hot chicken with crumbled feta and drizzle with hot honey.

  8. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust the level of spice by increasing or decreasing the hot sauce in the honey.

  • Works well with chicken tenders or cutlets for quicker cooking.

  • Feta can be swapped for goat cheese for a milder tang.
