Baked Chicken Dijon
ReplyDeleteChicken breasts, boneless and skinless (2 1/2 pounds of chicken)
2 T. Dijon mustard
1/2 cup Butter
1 Garlic clove, minced
2 T. Fresh parsley, minced
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cups Panko* breadcrumbs
Assembly and Baking Directions:
Melt butter in a skillet or pan on stove. Add the garlic and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. Blend in mustard, stirring well. Remove from heat and let it cool enough to touch, but not solidify. While the mixture cools, mix the parsley, parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. When the butter is cooled, whip it vigorously with a whisk or spoon until the mixture thickens. Dip each chicken breast in the butter mixture, coating all surfaces. Place each butter-coated breast in the crumb mixture, placing the crumbs onto the chicken pieces. Carefully place breaded chicken pieces into freezer bag. Remove excess air and freeze flat.
Serving Day Directions:
To cook, thaw the chicken pieces on a baking pan and bake at 400 degrees F. for 20-25 minutes, checking regularly. The chicken should be lightly browned and moist on the inside. Top with additional finely shredded parmesan cheese and Dijon mayonnaise if desired (1 part Dijon mustard to 2 parts mayonnaise).
*Panko bread crumbs are found by the breadcrumbs and stuffing at Woodman’s in LaCrosse. I haven't looked for them in Winona. Panko breadcrumbs are coarser than regular American-style breadcrumbs and give a really good crunch.
If Panko breadcrumbs are not available, you can substitute with plain packaged stuffing bread. Crush these hard bread cubes by placing them in a heavy freezer bag, sealing it up and rolling it with a rolling pin until coarse crumbs are formed.
