Crispy Mustard Chicken


   cooking spray
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup dijon-style mustard
1/4 cup miracle whip free
1/4 cup finely chopped scallion including green tops
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly coat a baking sheet with vegetable oil spray. Place chicken on a cutting board designated for raw poultry, cover each chicken breast half with a piece of plastic wrap and use the side of your fist to pound the chicken to an even thickness.

2. In a shallow dish, stir together the mustard, mayonnaise, and scallions. In another shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs and pepper.

 

3. Dip the chicken into the mustard mixture to coat, then dredge in the crumbs to coat completely. Place the chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Bake until the coating is golden and crisp, and the chicken is white throughout, 17 to 20 minutes.
