Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/3 cup hot honey (or adjust according to your spice level)

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions
 

Prep Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board, and use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch). This ensures even cooking.

    Season and Coat: In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, place the beaten eggs, and in a third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.

      Breading Process: Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, covering evenly, and then finally coat with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

        Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. When hot, sauté the chicken breasts in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. You may need to add more oil as you cook. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.

          Feta Topping: In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta and hot honey until well mixed. Spoon this mixture generously over each piece of chicken.

            Bake to Finish: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the feta is slightly melted.

              Serve: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
