Crispy Hot Honey Feta Chicken is a delicious, flavorful dish featuring breaded chicken breasts topped with a sweet and savory honey feta sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Place the chicken breasts on a clean cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, and stir well to ensure an even mixture.
- Crack the two eggs into a separate shallow bowl and whisk them together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- In a third shallow dish, add the panko breadcrumbs and spread them out evenly.
- Coat each chicken breast first in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated and lightly shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured chicken breast into the beaten eggs, making sure it is completely covered in egg wash.
- Finally, dredge the egg-coated chicken breast in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick evenly to the surface.
- Place the breaded chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the breaded chicken breasts, making sure each piece gets a light coating for extra crispiness during baking.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden and crispy.
- While the chicken bakes, prepare the hot honey feta sauce. In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese and honey, stirring gently to mix them together.
- Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven and transfer the chicken breasts to a serving platter.
- Spoon the hot honey feta sauce generously over each chicken breast, allowing it to melt slightly into the warm chicken.
- Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the chicken for an added kick of heat.
- Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and a hint of freshness.
- Serve the crispy hot honey feta chicken immediately while the crust is still crispy, and enjoy!
