How to Make Crunchy Honey Mustard Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a food processor, combine 1 cup of peanuts and 1 cup of crushed cereal (like crushed corn flakes or Rice Krispies). Pulse until finely crushed, but not into a paste. Be careful not to over-process.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard.
  4. Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a bowl and coat thoroughly with the honey mustard mixture.
  5. Press the peanut and cereal mixture onto the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  6. Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
