Tips:

  • Use a meat mallet: Pounding the chicken breasts with a meat mallet helps tenderize them and ensures even cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, avoid overcrowding the pan. This will prevent steaming and help the chicken brown properly.
  • Use a good quality Dijon mustard: The quality of the Dijon mustard you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a mustard that is grainy and has a sharp, tangy flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts are very lean and can easily become dry if overcooked. Cook them until they are just cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Dijon Parmesan chicken breasts are a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs creates a flavorful crust that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
