Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0 N/A Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Pound each chicken breast to an even thickness, about 3/4 inch, to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well.

Step 4

In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Using a basting brush or the back of a spoon, spread a thin layer of the Dijon mixture on both sides of each chicken breast.

Step 6

Press each coated chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even layer of crumbs adheres to both sides.

Step 7

Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the tops to encourage browning.

Step 8

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Dijon Crumb Chicken hot alongside your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
