Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Cooking spray or olive oil, for greasing


Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil.

  • Prepare the Chicken:

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
    Place the flour in a shallow dish.
    In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and mix in the Dijon mustard.
    In a third shallow dish, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and paprika.

  • Coat the Chicken:

    Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
    Dip the floured chicken breasts into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
    Press each chicken breast into the cheddar cheese mixture, coating well and pressing the mixture onto the chicken to adhere.

  • Bake the Chicken:

    Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
    Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil to help with browning.
    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.

  • Serve:

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
