Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another shallow dish, combine the Italian-style breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 4

Pat the chicken breasts dry using a paper towel. Spread the Dijon mixture evenly on both sides of each chicken breast.

Step 5

Dip each coated chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres well.

Step 6

Arrange the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.

Step 7

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil evenly over the coated chicken to help achieve a crispy texture.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
