Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts
470g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 tbsp fresh thyme
2.40g
1 tsp dried oregano
1g
1/2 tbsp basil
2.65g
2 garlic cloves
6g
6 tbsp mustard
90g
1 cup bread crumbs
110g
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
24g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 sprig fresh parsley
1g

Instructions:

2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with the salt and a dash of black pepper.
3. Make the Mustard Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the fresh thyme, dried oregano, basil, minced garlic, and mustard until well mixed.
4. Coat the Chicken: Spread the mustard herb mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
5. 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.
6. Crust the Chicken: Press each coated chicken breast into the bread crumb mixture, ensuring an even crust on both sides.
7. 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.
8. 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!
