Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko recommended for extra crunch)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice level)

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons hot sauce (like Frank's RedHot)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

      Set up the breading station: In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth. In a third shallow dish, add the breadcrumbs.

        Bread the chicken: Coat each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, and then press into the breadcrumbs to fully coat. Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet.

          Drizzle with olive oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the breaded chicken to help it crisp up in the oven.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. An internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) ensures the chicken is done.

              Prepare the hot honey feta drizzle: In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey and hot sauce until well blended. Add the crumbled feta cheese and gently fold until slightly combined.

                Serve: Once the chicken is crispy and golden, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the hot honey feta mixture over each piece of chicken.

                  Garnish and enjoy: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
