Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

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, honey, and garlic powder. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle in the olive oil and mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated and slightly moistened.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts on a clean cutting board. If they are thick, pound them gently with a meat mallet to an even thickness (about 1 inch) for uniform cooking.

Step 5

Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, generously coat each chicken breast with the Dijon-honey mixture.

Step 6

Dredge the mustard-coated chicken in the panko mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere evenly to both sides.

Step 7

Transfer the breaded chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional) and serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad.
