Parmesan Honey Mustard Chicken

I've had a longstanding hatred of mustard for as long as I can remember. My husband however loves the stuff. So I'm taking baby steps towards a place where mustard and I can live harmoniously together. This is a simple recipe of honey mustard coated chicken with a crispy Parmesan and Italian bread crumb crust.

PARMESAN HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN

INGREDIENTS:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded 1/2" thick
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper


DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. In a small bowl combine mustard, honey and lemon juice and stir until well combined. Brush both sides of each chicken breasts liberally with mustard sauce.
