How to Make Baked Tarragon Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves (chopped), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the butter mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Press the chicken breasts into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  6. Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle any remaining breadcrumbs over the chicken.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
