Breaded Dijon Chicken Breast

Ingredients
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 eggs
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp seasoning salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper
Olive oil

Method
1.  Prepare an ungreased baking pan and set oven to 400 degrees.

2.  Pat the chicken dry using paper towels.

3.  In a shallow dish whisk the eggs with Dijon mustard until well blended.

4.  In another shallow dish, combine the dry bread crumbs with the garlic powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

5.  Dip chicken breasts into the egg/mustard mixture allowing any excess to drip off, then place the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture turning to coat with the crumbs and pressing down with hands firmly to adhere the coating to the chicken; place onto a plate or the prepared baking sheet.

6.  Cover the bottom of a skillet with oil then heat over medium-high heat.

7.  Add in the breaded chicken one or two at a time and brown both sides (about 3 minutes per side or until golden brown, do not cook thoroughly).

8.  Transfer to ungreased baking sheet and bake the chicken for 30 minutes or until cooked through.
