- 1 cup plain panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces block feta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/3 cup hot honey

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Return to oven and bake for 5-7 minutes until feta is warm and softened.

Notes
For extra crispiness, ensure chicken is dry before breading. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
