A flavorful and easy-to-make chicken dish with a crispy herb crust.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Spread Dijon mustard evenly over all sides of the chicken breasts.
The mustard helps the crust adhere to the chicken.
Press the mustard-coated chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Press gently but firmly to make the crust stick well.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
Leave some space between the pieces for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of your choice for a complete meal.
