Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Cutlets

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

For the Hot Honey Lemon Sauce

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

For Garnish

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Breading Station: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Set up three shallow dishes – one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This will make the breading process organized and efficient.
  2. Bread the Chicken Cutlets: Take each chicken cutlet and dredge it first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat it thoroughly in the panko breadcrumb mixture to ensure a crispy crust when cooked.
  3. Cook the Chicken Cutlets: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken cutlets and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. This initial cooking locks in flavor and texture before baking.
  4. Bake the Cutlets: Transfer the browned chicken cutlets to a baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Make the Hot Honey Lemon Sauce: While the chicken bakes, combine honey, sriracha, and fresh lemon juice in a small saucepan. Heat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens slightly and becomes glossy, enhancing both flavor and consistency.
  6. Serve: Drizzle the prepared hot honey lemon sauce generously over the baked chicken cutlets. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.

Notes

  • You can adjust the level of spiciness by varying the amount of sriracha or choosing a milder chili sauce.
  • For extra crispiness, pat the chicken dry before breading to remove moisture.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best bright and tangy flavor in the sauce.
  • Cook chicken to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it’s fully cooked and juicy.
  • Substitute panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and gently reheated.
