How to Make Baked Parmesan Dijon Chicken Breasts

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1 ½ cups of breadcrumbs and 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese. Mix well.
In a shallow dish, whisk together 4 tablespoons of melted butter and 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard.
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.
Arrange the breaded chicken breasts in the prepared baking pan.
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.
