This Crispy Hot Honey Feta Chicken recipe combines tender, golden-fried chicken breasts with the tangy creaminess of crumbled feta cheese and a drizzle of sweet and spicy hot honey for a flavorful, irresistible dish perfect for dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

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

Toppings and Finish

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup hot honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper on both sides to enhance the flavor.
  2. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast first in the all-purpose flour, making sure it is completely coated. Next, dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing excess egg to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken breasts thoroughly in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they stick well.
  3. Fry the Chicken: Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the pan and fry until they turn golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. This will create a crispy crust before baking.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Transfer the fried chicken breasts to a baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of each piece. Drizzle the hot honey generously over the chicken and feta to infuse a sweet, spicy glaze.
  5. Bake Until Cooked Through: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. This ensures the chicken is cooked through and the feta cheese softens slightly, blending perfectly with the hot honey.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the chicken from the oven and serve hot. The combination of the crispy coating, creamy feta, and hot honey makes for a delightful main course that pairs well with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy texture, you can double dip the chicken by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps.
  • If you like it spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour or breadcrumbs.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Hot honey can be substituted with regular honey and a drizzle of hot sauce if unavailable.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
