Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Coating

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings and Finishing

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup hot honey
  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken after frying.
  2. Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper on both sides to enhance flavor.
  3. Prepare Coating: Set up a dredging station by placing the all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes.
  4. Coat Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast first in flour until fully coated, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the breadcrumbs stick well.
  5. Fry Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the coated chicken breasts until they are golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the fried chicken breasts to a baking dish in a single layer.
  7. Add Feta Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over each piece of chicken, allowing it to slightly melt and add a tangy richness.
  8. Drizzle Hot Honey: Drizzle the hot honey over the chicken and feta cheese to add a sweet and spicy glaze.
  9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  10. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy the combination of crispy chicken, tangy feta, and the spicy-sweet hot honey glaze.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey depending on your heat preference.
  • Serve with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked safely through.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
