List of Ingredients



• 6 chicken breast halves, skinned
  
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) prepared mustard
  
• 1 cup (240 ml) bread crumbs
  
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
  
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) dried minced onion
  
• 3/4 teaspoon (3.75 ml) salt
  
• 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) garlic powder
  
• 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) dried oregano
  
• 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 ml) butter or margarine, melted
  
• 6 tablespoons (90 ml) sour cream or plain low-fat yogurt (optional)
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush the chicken breasts with mustard; set aside.
   
   
2. In a large shallow dish, mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Roll the chicken in the bread crumb mixture to coat.
   
   
3. Place chicken in a large, lightly greased baking pan, meaty side up. Drizzle chicken with melted butter.
   
   
4. Bake, uncovered, for 50 minutes or until fork-tender. Arrange chicken on a serving dish and top with sour cream or yogurt, if using.
   
   
5. Makes 6 servings.
   
   






Final Comments


NOTE: This recipe makes a lot of breading! If you're using smaller chicken breasts, you may want to cut the breading ingredients down a bit.
