If I ask for input on what should be on the dinner menu this week, 9 times out of 10, parmesan chicken will be suggested. I don’t mind in the slightest, just don’t tell them! But honestly, this dish has the perfect mix of crispy breading, tang from the mustard and Worcestershire, and the chicken stays super moist.

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Tender, juicy chicken coated in buttery Parmesan breadcrumbs with a hint of Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Baked until golden and crispy, it's an easy family-favorite dinner.

Ingredients

  

• ½ cup unsalted butter melted
• 2 teaspoons Dijon or spicy brown mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
• ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

Let’s Cook!

 

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a shallow bowl, combine the melted butter, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
• In a separate shallow dish, combine the seasoned breadcrumbs, panko, and Parmesan cheese.
• Dip each chicken breast into the butter mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
• Coat the chicken evenly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres.
• Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
• Lightly drizzle any of the remaining butter mixture over the chicken
• Bake uncovered for approximately 25–35 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken, until golden and the thickest part reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
• Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes From My Kitchen

Our favorite sides are chunks of russet potatoes tossed in ranch seasoning and olive oil and finished in the air fryer and a simple helping of green beans.
