Ingredients
Instructions
- Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Combine Grey Poupon Parisian mustard and egg in a bowl and whisk until well blended.
- Mix bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together until well combined.
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture to coat thoroughly.
- Let stand at room temperature on waxed paper for 10 minutes to set the coating.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is lightly browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter twist, consider using whole wheat bread crumbs instead of regular ones. You can also substitute Dijon mustard with honey mustard for a sweeter flavor. If you want extra flavor, add garlic powder or herbs like thyme to the breadcrumb mixture. Letting the coated chicken sit helps the crust adhere better, ensuring a nice crunch, similar to Crusted Crispy Baked Chicken.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Mustardy Oven Baked Chicken alongside steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with roasted potatoes or a quinoa side dish, adding a wholesome touch. For a heartier option, consider pairing it with the Golden Chicken Bake, which complements the flavors perfectly.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover baked chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. This helps maintain the crispy coating, avoiding the sogginess that can occur in the microwave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use skin-on chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use skin-on chicken breasts if you prefer. However, cooking time may vary slightly, so be sure to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for safety. The skin will also add extra flavor and moisture to the dish.
What can I use instead of Grey Poupon mustard?
If you don't have Grey Poupon mustard, you can substitute it with any stone-ground mustard or a mild yellow mustard. For a different flavor, consider using a spicy brown mustard or even a flavored mustard like honey mustard, which can add a nice sweetness to the dish.
Can I freeze the baked chicken?
Yes, you can freeze the baked chicken. Allow it to cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil or place in a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating to maintain the best texture.
