Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Prepare the Coating: Dredge the chicken in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
- Fry the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Bake the Chicken: Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
- Add Toppings: Drizzle the hot honey over the chicken and sprinkle with crumbled feta before serving.
Notes
- Extra Spice: For more heat, drizzle additional hot honey or sprinkle red pepper flakes on top before serving.
- Cheese Swap: If feta isn’t your favorite, try goat cheese or blue cheese for a different tangy flavor.
- Vegetarian Option: Replace the chicken with crispy fried tofu or cauliflower steaks for a plant-based alternative.
- Herb Garnish: Add fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for extra flavor and a fresh finish.
