Ingredients
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
2. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure the coating adheres.
3. In a bowl, mix feta, panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Drizzle olive oil into the feta mixture and stir until evenly coated.
5. Brush each chicken breast with olive oil and press the feta mixture onto the surface to form a crust.
6. Place chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
7. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine honey, hot sauce or red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar.
8. Warm the honey mixture over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until fragrant.
9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking, then drizzle generously with the hot honey glaze.
10. Serve immediately with desired sides and extra honey glaze on the side.
