Ingredients

Chicken Preparation

4 pieces Chicken breasts Boneless and skinless
1/2 cup Butter Melted

Coating

1 cup Panko breadcrumbs For a crispy coating
1 teaspoon Salt To taste
1/2 teaspoon Pepper To taste

Hot Honey Sauce

1/3 cup Honey For drizzling
2 tablespoons Hot sauce Adjust for spice preference

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In a bowl, melt the butter and mix it with panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Coat the chicken breasts with the panko mixture, pressing it onto the chicken to adhere.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet.

Cooking

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
While the chicken is baking, in a small saucepan, heat honey and hot sauce until combined and warm.
Once the chicken is done, drizzle the hot honey sauce over the chicken before serving.

Notes

For a healthier option, substitute butter with olive oil. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge, or freeze for up to 3 months.
