- 2 large chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 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)
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and crumbled feta cheese.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Coat the chicken in the panko and feta mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
- Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the top of each piece.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- While the chicken is baking, mix honey and hot sauce in a small bowl. Adjust the heat level to your preference.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the hot honey mixture over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a crunchier texture, try air frying the chicken at 375°F for 15-20 minutes.
- To customize the flavor, experiment with different cheeses like goat cheese or add herbs such as oregano or thyme to the breadcrumb mixture.
