For the chicken cutlets:
- 4 chicken breasts, sliced into thin cutlets
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
For the hot honey lemon glaze:
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 3–4 tablespoons olive oil (for frying or baking)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a skillet with olive oil for frying. Set up a breading station with three bowls: flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper in the third.
- Coat each chicken cutlet in flour, then dip in egg, and finally press into the breadcrumb mixture to fully coat. Place breaded cutlets on a tray or cook immediately.
- Pan-fry in olive oil for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy, or bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
- In a small bowl, mix honey, hot sauce, lemon juice, and lemon zest to create the hot honey lemon glaze. Once chicken is cooked, drizzle or brush with the glaze.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta over the hot chicken so it softens slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra chili flakes if desired.
- Serve immediately while crispy.
Notes
- For an extra crispy crust, double coat the chicken cutlets in the breadcrumb mixture.
- You can adjust the heat level by increasing or decreasing the amount of hot sauce in the glaze.
