Easy Chicken Schnitzel image

Great recipe from Cooking Light, August 2005 The mustard egg dip helps keep the chicken moist. I use the thin sliced chicken and longer time grilling in the pan so I don't have to cook in the oven.

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
