- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten

For the Hot Honey Lemon Feta Drizzle:
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) if finishing cutlets in the oven.
- Prepare the breading station: Set up a breading station with flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of panko, Parmesan, thyme, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third.
- Bread the chicken: Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, dip in egg, then coat with the Parmesan herb breadcrumb mixture.
- Fry the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Optionally transfer to the oven for 5–7 minutes to ensure cooked through.
- Make the drizzle: In a small bowl, mix feta, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and hot sauce to make the drizzle.
- Finish and serve: Drizzle the hot honey lemon feta over the crispy chicken cutlets before serving. Serve immediately with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
