Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves 4 people

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 4 boneless, skinless, chicken-breast halves
  • 11/4 cups shredded, high-quality Parmesan cheese
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  2. Slightly pound chicken breasts to make them a more uniform thickness (this helps the chicken cook evenly and not dry out).

  3. Whisk Dijon and melted butter together in a medium bowl.

  4. Add chicken and toss to coat well.

  5. Sprinkle half of the Parmesan onto a large sheet of plastic wrap.

  6. Place chicken breasts on cheese, then dab the pieces around so the bottom surfaces pick up all the cheese. Repeat with remaining Parmesan, pressing the other sides of the chicken breasts into the cheese, so both sides are nicely coated.

  7. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray; lay out chicken pieces, spaced apart

  8. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from oven and let cool before removing from pan.
