Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp garlic powder
2 large eggs
1/2 cup hot honey sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup high-quality honey
1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Pat the chicken breasts dry, season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Set up three bowls: one with flour mixed with garlic powder, one with whisked eggs, and the last with panko breadcrumbs mixed with paprika.
Coat each chicken breast in flour, then dip in egg wash, followed by panko breadcrumbs until well coated.
Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
While baking, combine honey, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through.
Drizzle the hot honey sauce over the baked chicken before serving.
