Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1/4 cup all purpose flour

• 2 large eggs, beaten

• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying

For the Hot Honey Sauce:

• 1/3 cup honey

• 1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce (such as Frank's or Cholula)

• 3/4 teaspoon chili flakes

For the Topping:

• 200g (7 oz) feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

1. Prepare the Hot Honey Sauce:

   • In a small bowl, combine the honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes. Warm the mixture in the microwave for about 20 seconds, stir, and set aside to cool.

2. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create two thinner pieces.

   • In a shallow dish, combine the flour with half of the seasoning mix (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper).

   • In another shallow dish, place the beaten eggs.

   • In a third shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the remaining seasoning mix.

   • Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat with the seasoned panko breadcrumbs.

3. Cook the Chicken:

   • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

   • Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken pieces.

   • Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

   • Remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a wire rack to drain excess oil.

4. Assemble the Dish:

   • Preheat your oven's broiler.

   • Place the cooked chicken pieces on a baking sheet.

   • Top each piece with crumbled feta cheese.

   • Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the feta starts to turn golden and slightly crispy.

5. Serve:

   • Drizzle the prepared hot honey sauce over the broiled chicken.

   • Serve immediately and enjoy!
