Dijon chicken breasts with olive oil and bread crumbs

Dijon chicken breasts with olive oil and bread crumbs is a simple yet flavorful dish that combines the tangy taste of Dijon mustard with the crispy texture of bread crumbs. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner or even a special occasion, providing a delightful contrast of flavors and textures.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
110g
3 tbsp olive oil
40g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g
4 chicken breasts
580g
1/2 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.90g
3 tsp salt
18g
3 tbsp mustard
44g
1 cup bread crumbs
110g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Set Up Breading Stations:
- In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour and 2 tsp of salt. Mix well.
- In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and Dijon mustard until smooth.
- In a third shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, remaining 1 tsp of salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Mix well.
3. Bread the Chicken:
- First, dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring it is coated evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
- Next, dip the floured chicken breasts into the egg mixture, making sure they are fully coated.
- Finally, coat the chicken breasts in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the bread crumbs adhere to the chicken.
4. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat 3 tbsp of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet; you may need to cook the chicken in batches.
- Once all chicken breasts are seared, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
5. Bake the Chicken:
- Bake the chicken breasts in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
6. Serve:
- Remove the chicken breasts from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the Dijon chicken breasts hot, with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes.

Tips:

- For an extra crispy texture, you can double coat the chicken by dipping it in egg and bread crumbs twice.

- Using Panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs can add extra crunch to the dish.

- Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking can help the juices redistribute, making the chicken more tender.

- You can add extra herbs like thyme or rosemary to the bread crumb mixture for additional flavor.

- Pair this dish with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to complete the meal.

By following these steps, you’ll create a delicious and moist Dijon chicken breast that’s crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The combination of Dijon mustard, olive oil, and bread crumbs makes for a memorable meal that’s sure to impress your family and friends.
