Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 pieces Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
In a shallow dish, combine the sesame seeds, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper.
Brush each chicken breast evenly with the Dijon glaze, ensuring all sides are coated.
Press each glazed chicken breast into the sesame-panko mixture, coating both sides generously. Gently press to adhere the crust.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Drizzle olive oil over the top of the chicken breasts to help them crisp up during baking.
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.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with sliced green onions (optional) and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
