Dijon mustard, apple juice, Parmesan cheese and garlic form a crispy and delicious coating on chicken breasts in this easy recipe for Parmesan Chicken. Make sure you use soft fresh bread crumbs, not the dry crumbs out of the can. If you use the dry crumbs you will have way too much for the recipe.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup apple juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh soft bread crumbs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. dried parsley flakes
  • 8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

Preparation:

Line a 13x9" pan with foil and preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In shallow pan, mix mustard, apple juice, and garlic. In other pan, mix the crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, melted butter, salt, pepper, and parsley flakes.

Coat chicken in the mustard mixture, then roll it in the Parmesan cheese mixture until thoroughly coated.

For crispy chicken all the way around, put the chicken on a wire rack on top of the foil. Place the chicken in prepared pan and bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Serves 8

Note: You have to use soft fresh bread crumbs for this recipe; bread crumbs you make yourself by crumbling or processing fresh bread. Do NOT use the dried bread crumbs you buy in the supermarket; you'll have way too much left over. You can use shredded or grated Parmesan cheese.
