Description

This dish combines crunchy, pan-fried chicken with creamy crumbled feta and a spicy-sweet honey drizzle. It’s the ultimate balance of textures and flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken:

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (halved horizontally into cutlets)
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying (vegetable or avocado oil)

For the toppings:

½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)

For the hot honey:

⅓ cup honey
1–2 tsp hot sauce (adjust to heat preference)
¼ tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the chicken: Season chicken cutlets with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Dredge in flour, dip in egg, then coat in panko.

2️⃣ Cook the chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken cutlets 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

3️⃣ Make the hot honey: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine honey, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes. Warm until just heated through and stir to combine.

4️⃣ Assemble and serve: Place crispy chicken on a plate, top with crumbled feta, drizzle with hot honey, and garnish with herbs if desired.

Notes

Try serving over rice, salad greens, or a toasted bun.
For extra crispiness, use a wire rack in the oven to keep chicken warm while you fry in batches.
