Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In a separate shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and Panko breadcrumbs. Drizzle in the olive oil and toss until evenly coated.
Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Using a brush or spoon, spread the Dijon mixture evenly over the top and sides of each chicken breast.
Press the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture onto the chicken breasts, ensuring a thick, even coating. Gently press down to make sure the coating adheres well.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor. Serve warm with your choice of sides.
