CRISPY OVEN-FRIED DIJON CHICKEN BREAST
This is my own original recipe and favorite simple way to prepare baked chicken. Dredging the chicken in flour first makes it come out deliciously crispy. It is also nice to tenderize the meat, though not completely necessary. I usually serve it with rice pilaf and some vegetables, or on a sandwich with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise.

Steps:

- Dip chicken in butter mixture; then in crumb mixture.

- Top with shredded cheddar or mozzarella the last 5 minutes of cooking (this is only optional.
Tips:
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to perfection. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking. This will help them cook evenly.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper, and add any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
- Use a variety of cooking techniques to keep the chicken breasts moist and flavorful. Try baking, roasting, grilling, or pan-frying.
- Don't overcrowd the chicken breasts in the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken breast.
