Great recipe that I make on a regular basis. Pairs well with lots of sides. I don't usually cook in a lot of butter so I cook with a tablespoon or two of coconut oil and once it is browned on the outside I put the chicken in a 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes to cook it through. it may not be as crispy but has good flavor and less fat. I skip the honey butter most of the time on my piece but the family likes the sweetness so I make the butter for them.

Very yummy! I did reduce the amount of parsley to 1T and added about 1/2 T of honey to the beaten egg instead of making honey butter.

My husband thought this was terrific! And it's so easy, too. But eat it right away, it doesn't hold well.

I gave it four stars because I honestly didn't see the point in using the honey butter. The chicken itself is cooked in plenty of butter and the breading has a very nice flavor. I felt like the honey butter was not needed at all. I would make this again without it obviously.

I think this would be just as good baked in the oven vs. pan frying. It was quite delicious!!
