Description
Crispy Hot Honey Feta Chicken is a flavorful dish featuring breaded chicken breasts topped with a sweet and spicy honey sauce and crumbled feta cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, beat the egg in a second dish, and combine the panko breadcrumbs and crumbled feta cheese in a third dish.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten egg, then coat it with the panko and feta mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- While the chicken is baking, mix the honey and hot sauce in a small bowl until well combined.
- Once the chicken is done, drizzle the hot honey mixture over the top and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For extra crunch, try adding some crushed cornflakes to the panko breadcrumb mixture.
- Substitute the feta cheese with goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
