Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated in the oil and cheese. Set aside.

Step 3

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure the mustard adheres properly.

Step 4

Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard evenly over the top of each chicken breast.

Step 5

Press the panko mixture onto the Dijon-coated side of each chicken breast, ensuring a thick, even coating. Gently press the breadcrumbs to help them adhere.

Step 6

Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, panko side up.

Step 7

Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray. This helps the crust turn golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute for tender, flavorful chicken.

Step 10

Serve the Dijon chicken warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a crisp salad.
