Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Mixing Bowls for coating the chicken

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Hot Honey Glaze

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. This ensures the chicken bakes evenly and achieves a crispy exterior.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Prepare three separate bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
  • Dip each chicken breast into the flour, then the eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is thoroughly covered.
  • Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Prepare the Hot Honey Glaze

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, hot sauce, and butter. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the glaze is smooth.
  • Taste the glaze and adjust the heat by adding more hot sauce if desired. Set aside once the desired flavor is achieved.

Assemble the Bowl

  • Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into strips and drizzle generously with the hot honey glaze.
  • Serve the chicken over a bed of rice, quinoa, or preferred grains. Add optional toppings such as avocado slices or roasted corn for extra flavor.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
