Step 1: Prepare the Chicken.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Butterfly or pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for even cooking.
3. Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper.

2. Bowl 1: Flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Bowl 2: Whisked eggs.
4. Bowl 3: Panko breadcrumbs mixed with crumbled feta cheese.
5. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
6. Dip into the eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
7. Press into the panko-feta mixture, ensuring even coverage

Step 3: Cook the Chicken.

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Sear the breaded chicken for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
3. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 4: Make the Hot Honey Sauce.

1. While the chicken bakes, combine honey, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan.
