Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In another shallow dish, combine the Italian-style breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Pat the chicken breasts dry using a paper towel. Spread the Dijon mixture evenly on both sides of each chicken breast.
Dip each coated chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres well.
Arrange the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil evenly over the coated chicken to help achieve a crispy texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and its internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
