Lemon Honey Goat Cheese Crusted Chicken

Oven baked chicken cutlets layered with tangy goat cheese, walnuts and toasted panko crumbs.

Lemon-infused honey butter drizzled over the panko helps form a delicious, crunchy coating.

With so many complementary flavors and textures it’s hard not to fall in love with this chicken!

A lot of savory, a little sweet and a little tart with citrus popping up here and there among the creamy goat cheese and the crunch of the walnuts and panko this is nothing short of dreamy.

If you’re looking for something a little different to perk up chicken night then this one’s just for you.
