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
• 0 Cooking oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, honey, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 5

Using a basting brush or spoon, coat each chicken breast evenly with the mustard mixture on all sides.

Step 6

Press each coated chicken breast into the onion and breadcrumb mixture, ensuring a thick and even layer adheres to the chicken.

Step 7

Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.

Step 8

Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with cooking oil spray to enhance crispiness.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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!
