Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better and ensures crispiness.

    Set Up Breading Station: In three separate bowls, place the flour mixed with half of the garlic powder, the eggs whisked together, and the panko breadcrumbs mixed with the remaining garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

      Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Dip into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then press into the panko mixture, coating evenly.

        Prepare for Baking: Place the breaded chicken breasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the top of each piece. This will help achieve a crispy texture.

          Bake Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).

            Add Feta Topping: Once baked, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the chicken and drizzle with hot honey. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to warm the feta slightly.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy the crispy texture combined with the sweet and spicy notes of the hot honey and the tangy feta!
