Crispy Parmesan Chicken Breasts

Ingredient:

• cooking spray
• 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 teaspoons white wine (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast

halves, pounded to an even thickness

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.

• Whisk bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and black pepper together in a shallow bowl. Stir butter, white wine, mustard, and garlic together in another bowl.
• Dip each chicken breast half into melted butter mixture; press into bread crumb mixture to evenly coat. Place breaded chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Pat any leftover bread crumb mixture onto chicken breasts.
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
