- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the gluten-free breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, chopped basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels.
Brush each chicken breast with olive oil, then evenly coat with Dijon mustard.
