Ingredients

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 large eggs
2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
olive oil for drizzling

Hot Honey

½ cup honey
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon hot sauce
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breasts in half so they are thin and then cut each half into 2-3 smaller pieces.
Add the eggs to a shallow bowl and whisk.
Add the breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper to another shallow bowl and mix to combine.
Dip each piece of chicken in the egg wash and then into the breadcrumbs.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and then drizzle or brush with some olive oil to help get it extra crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-24 minutes, flipping halfway. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the the internal temperature of reaches 165 degrees F.
While the chicken is baking, make the hot honey.
Add the honey, olive oil, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes, to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until warmed through. Remove from heat.
Once the chicken is baked, drizzle or brush the hot honey over the crispy chicken.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Storage - store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Reheat - to reheat, I like to put the chicken in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 5-6 minutes. You could also reheat in the microwave but it probably won't be quite as crispy.

Serving Suggestions - We love this as a main dish with some roasted broccoli and potatoes. Other ideas are on top of rice, as a sandwich or wrap, or diced on top of a salad. It would be delicious dipped in my Greek Yogurt Ranch or Cottage Cheese Ranch!
