 Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  
• Salt & pepper to taste
  
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
  
• 2 eggs, beaten
  
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  
• 1 tsp paprika
  
• Oil for shallow frying (like canola or olive oil)
  

For the Whipped Feta:

• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  
• 2 tbsp cream cheese or Greek yogurt
  
• 1 tbsp olive oil
  
• ½ tsp lemon zest
  
• Pinch of black pepper
  

For the Hot Honey:

• ¼ cup honey
  
• ½–1 tsp red pepper flakes
  
• Pinch of salt
  
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional, for balance)
  

 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Whipped Feta:

• In a small food processor, blend feta, cream cheese, olive oil, lemon zest, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  

2. Make the Hot Honey:

• In a small saucepan, heat honey with red pepper flakes and salt over low heat for 2–3 minutes. Stir in vinegar if using. Let it steep while you prepare the chicken.
  

3. Prep & Coat the Chicken:

• Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create thinner cutlets, or pound to even thickness.
  
• Season with salt and pepper.
  
• Dredge each piece in flour, then dip in beaten egg, then coat with a mix of panko, Parmesan, and paprika.
  

4. Cook the Chicken:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  
• Fry chicken until golden and crispy, about 4–5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  

5. Assemble:

• Spread whipped feta on a serving plate or directly on the chicken.
  
• Top with the crispy chicken and drizzle generously with warm hot honey.
  
• Garnish with extra feta, fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley), or lemon wedges.
  

 Serving Ideas:

• Over a bed of arugula or greens
  
• With roasted potatoes or couscous
  
• As a sandwich in a toasted bun or pita wrap
