Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for pan-frying)

For the Feta Topping:

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (plus more for garnish)
  • Optional: arugula and cherry tomatoes for serving

Instructions

  1. Slice and Prepare Chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create 4 thin cutlets. Season flour with salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge each cutlet in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Pan-Fry Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Prepare Feta Topping: In a small bowl, mash feta with cream cheese until creamy and spreadable.
  4. Assemble Dish: Spread feta mixture over hot chicken cutlets while still warm. Drizzle each piece generously with hot honey and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
  5. Serve: Serve with arugula and roasted potato wedges or tomatoes if desired.
