Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup hot honey sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. Dredge the chicken breasts in flour, dip into beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken breasts until golden on both sides.
  5. Transfer the chicken to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
  6. In a small bowl, mix hot honey sauce with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a tangy dressing.
  7. In a large bowl, toss mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese.
  8. Once the chicken is done, slice it thinly and place it on top of the salad.
  9. Drizzle the hot honey dressing over the salad and chicken.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you prefer a less spicy dish, reduce the amount of hot honey sauce.
  • For a healthier option, you can bake the chicken instead of pan-frying it.
  • Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before serving (internal temperature should be 165°F/75°C).
