Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0 non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, and mayonnaise until smooth. Set this mixture aside.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.

Step 4

Brush each chicken breast generously with the mustard mixture, ensuring it is well coated on all sides.

Step 5

Press each coated chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the crumbs. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the chicken breasts to enhance the crispiness.

Step 8

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve your Sweet Crunchy Mustard Chicken with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
