Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

6 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder (if you are a garlic lover add in 1/2 teaspoon more)
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
oil (for frying, use as needed)

Steps:

Prepare an ungreased baking sheet/pan.
Pat the breasts dry using paper towels.
In a shallow dish whisk the eggs with Dijon mustard until well blended.
In another shallow dish (I use my 8x8-inch baking pan for this) combine the dry bread crumbs with the garlic powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, paprika and cayenne pepper.
Have 1 or 2 plates ready to put the breasts on after breading I just use the ungreasd baking sheet.
Dip one chicken breast into the egg/mustard mixture allowing any excess to drip off, then place the breast into the breadcrumb mixture turning to coat with the crumbs and pressing down with hands firmly to adhear the coating to the chicken; place onto a plate (or the prepared baking sheet).
Continue with remaining chicken.
Cover the bottom of the skillet with oil then heat over medium-high heat.
Add in the breaded chicken breasts one or two at a time and brown both sides (about 3 minutes per side or until golden brown, do not cook thoroughly).
Transfer to ungreased baking sheet.
At this point you may leave the chicken in the pan until ready to bake.
Set oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake the browned chicken for 30 minutes or until cooked through.

Tips:

- To ensure the chicken stays moist and juicy, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are of even thickness. - Dijon mustard adds a tangy, savory flavor to the chicken. If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can substitute yellow mustard, but it will have a milder flavor. - Panko breadcrumbs create a crispy, golden coating on the chicken. If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs, but they won't be as crispy. - Grated Parmesan cheese adds a nutty, salty flavor to the breading. If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can substitute another hard cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella. - Fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, and rosemary, add a pop of flavor to the breading. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful. - Cooking the chicken at a high temperature helps to create a crispy coating. If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the chicken until it is no longer pink in the center. - Serving the chicken with a lemon wedge and a dollop of Dijon mustard adds a bright, tangy flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Breaded Dijon chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The crispy, golden coating and tangy Dijon mustard flavor make this chicken a hit with everyone. Serve it with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
