Ingredients:

3 slices white bread
100g
1/4 cup fresh parsley
16g
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
14g
2 chicken breasts
240g
1 tbsp mustard
16g
3 tbsp olive oil
40g
1/2 red onion
54g
1 tbsp capers
16g
1 cup green beans
230g
1/2 lemon
55g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil.
2. Prepare the Bread Crumb Mixture:
- Tear the white bread into pieces and place them in a food processor.
- Add the fresh parsley and parmesan cheese to the processor.
- Pulse until the mixture becomes fine breadcrumbs. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over each chicken breast.
- Press the mustard-coated chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
4. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the breaded chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
- Transfer the entire skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
5. Prepare the Vegetables:
- While the chicken is baking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced red onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they start to soften.
- Add the capers and green beans to the skillet and sauté for another 5-7 minutes, or until the green beans are tender but still crisp.
6. Finish the Dish:
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Squeeze the juice from the half lemon over the sautéed vegetables for a bright finish.
7. Serve:
- Plate each chicken breast and serve with a side of sautéed vegetables. Enjoy your Parmesan and Dijon-crusted chicken hot.

Tips:

- Ensure the chicken breasts are pounded to an even thickness for uniform cooking.

- You can use a food processor to make bread crumbs from the slices of white bread for a finer texture.

- Toast the bread crumbs in a pan until golden before using them to add extra crunch and flavor.

- Feel free to substitute parsley with other herbs like thyme or basil for a different flavor profile.

- When applying the Parmesan-Dijon mixture, be generous to ensure a full and flavorful crust.

- Let the coated chicken rest for a few minutes before cooking to allow the crust to adhere better.

- Bake the chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet to ensure even air circulation and crisping.
