• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Step-by-step Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
3. In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs in the third.
4. Season the flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
5. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
6. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
7. Add the chicken cutlets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
9. While the chicken is baking, combine the honey, hot sauce, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
10. Cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the mixture is well combined.
11. Remove the chicken from the oven and drizzle with the hot honey sauce.
12. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
