Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and Panko breadcrumbs. Drizzle in the olive oil and toss until evenly coated.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Using a brush or spoon, spread the Dijon mixture evenly over the top and sides of each chicken breast.

Step 5

Press the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture onto the chicken breasts, ensuring a thick, even coating. Gently press down to make sure the coating adheres well.

Step 6

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor. Serve warm with your choice of sides.
