If you love a meal that hits every flavor note — sweet, spicy, salty, tangy, and downright addictive — this Feta Chicken is about to become your new go-to dinner. Imagine crispy golden chicken, drizzled in sticky hot honey, and crowned with crumbled feta that melts just slightly into all that spicy sweetness. Yeah, it’s as dreamy as it sounds.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts – juicy and tender, they’re the perfect canvas for all that flavor magic.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour – for the essential first layer of crispiness.
  • 2 large eggs, beaten – helps everything stick together like culinary glue.
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs – or go with panko if you want extra crunch.
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese – brings that creamy, tangy edge.
  • ¼ cup hot honey – the sweet heat that ties it all together.
  • Salt and pepper – a little seasoning love.
  • Olive oil – for frying to golden perfection.

Instructions

  1. Prep Like a Pro
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures it’s hot and ready when the chicken’s done crisping up. Give your chicken breasts a good sprinkle of salt and pepper on both sides. If they’re thick, give them a gentle pound to even things out — it helps them cook evenly.
  2. Coat and Crisp
    • Set up your dredging station: one bowl with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
    • First, coat each chicken breast in flour.
    • Dip into the eggs until completely covered.
    • Finish with a roll in the breadcrumbs.
    • Pro Tip: Want that next-level crunch? Use panko breadcrumbs — they’ll give you that restaurant-style texture.
    • Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once it’s shimmering, lay in the chicken and fry each side for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  3. Bake with Feta and Hot Honey Love
    • Transfer your golden beauties to a baking dish. Crumble feta cheese all over the top, letting it catch the heat and soften just slightly. Drizzle hot honey across the surface — as much or as little as your taste buds can handle.
    • Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temp should hit 165°F).
  4. Rest and Serve
    • Let your chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This locks in the juices and gives the flavors a chance to settle into each other.
    • Serve hot, with your favorite sides — maybe roasted veggies, a crisp salad, or even a buttery roll to mop up that extra sauce.

Notes

  • Customize the spice level: Add more hot honey for bold heat or mix in a dash of smoked paprika or chili flakes for even more depth.
  • For a lighter option: Try baking the chicken entirely instead of pan-frying — it’ll still crisp up beautifully.
  • Make it your own: Swap feta for goat cheese if you want a creamier, tangier bite.
