Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cups Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1.5 cups Crispy fried onions
- 0.5 cups Plain breadcrumbs
- Cooking oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, honey, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Place the crispy fried onions in a large resealable plastic bag or food processor. Crush the onions into smaller pieces using a rolling pin or pulse in the food processor. Mix the crushed onions with the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Using a basting brush or spoon, coat each chicken breast evenly with the mustard mixture on all sides.
Press each coated chicken breast into the onion and breadcrumb mixture, ensuring a thick and even layer adheres to the chicken.
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with cooking oil spray to enhance crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Crispy Onion Dijon Chicken with your favorite side dishes!
