Herb and mustard crusted chicken breasts

Herb and mustard crusted chicken breasts offer a flavorful and aromatic twist to the classic chicken breasts. The combination of fresh herbs, mustard, and a crispy breadcrumb topping creates a deliciously seasoned and textured dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and straightforward steps, you can elevate your chicken game using this recipe.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with the salt and a dash of black pepper.
2. Make the Mustard Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the fresh thyme, dried oregano, basil, minced garlic, and mustard until well mixed.
3. Coat the Chicken: Spread the mustard herb mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
4. Prepare the Crust: In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Stir until the bread crumbs are evenly coated with the oil and cheese.
5. Crust the Chicken: Press each coated chicken breast into the bread crumb mixture, ensuring an even crust on both sides.
6. Bake the Chicken: Place the crumb-coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C) and the crust is golden brown.
7. Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Tips:

- Ensure the chicken breasts are of uniform thickness to promote even cooking. You can pound them lightly with a meat mallet if necessary.

- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the mustard and herb mixture for at least 30 minutes before coating with breadcrumbs.

- Use panko breadcrumbs for an even crispier crust.

- To avoid the crust becoming soggy, bake the chicken on a wire rack set on a baking sheet, allowing air to circulate underneath.

- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after baking to retain juiciness and for easier slicing.

With this herb and mustard crusted chicken breast recipe, you can easily create a delectable dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing. The blend of herbs and mustard, combined with the crispy breadcrumb topping, provides a satisfying crunch and depth of flavor. Whether you're cooking for a family dinner or entertaining guests, this recipe is sure to impress. Enjoy your deliciously crusted chicken breast served with your favorite side dishes!
