Ingredients for Baked Parmesan Dijon Chicken Breasts

  • Dry Breadcrumbs
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Halves

How to Make Baked Parmesan Dijon Chicken Breasts

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1 ½ cups of breadcrumbs and 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese. Mix well.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together 4 tablespoons of melted butter and 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the butter-mustard mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, add the chicken to the breadcrumb mixture bag, shaking gently to coat evenly.
  5. Arrange the breaded chicken breasts in the prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. A meat thermometer is recommended for accuracy.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
