Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 3 tablespoons Yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 pieces Eggs

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 bowl, whisk together the yellow mustard and Dijon mustard until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

In a separate shallow bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them lightly.

Step 5

Take each chicken breast and pat it dry with paper towels. Dip it first into the mustard mixture, coating both sides evenly.

Step 6

Next, dip the mustard-coated chicken into the whisked eggs and allow any excess to drip off.

Step 7

Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring the entire surface is covered. Gently press down to help the breadcrumbs adhere.

Step 8

Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle each piece with a small amount of olive oil to help with browning.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve with a side of vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
