Baked Chicken Dijon

1-#chicken dijon baked recipe I am sharing with you a family favorite. This is my mother-in-law’s recipe adapted (with the perfect touches, I might add) from an amazing restaurant around here that once, a long time ago, handed out a few of their favorite recipes from the menu. My mother-in-law makes a huge meal for every birthday. I’m not joking when I say this chicken dijon recipe is requested ever yanytime…well, except when it’s my birthday because I always ask for pizza. This recipe is fabulous. I am always looking for recipes I might be able to give to people (families with a new baby or a sick family member) that they can just stick straight in the oven an bake themselves. This one is perfect. I also love to try to find recipes my kids can help make. Check out after the recipe to see how I was able to have Kenzie help so you can get more ideas on how to get your kids in the kitchen with you also. This batch I was taking to families who had just had babies (we had an explosion at our church this week), so I don’t have the after picture. If you can, try and find disposable cooking containers so the people you are making food for so they don’t have to worry about doing dishes after enjoying the meal.

Baked Chicken Dijon

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half
5 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 cup butter
1 clove garlic

2 Tbsp fresh parsley, minced
5 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, shredded
3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
3/4 cup homemade bread crumbs (store bought ones work as well, but homemade is always better)

Dipping Sauce:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/8 cup Dijon mustard

Melt butter in sauce pan over low heat. Add garlic. Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. Blend in 5 tsp mustard, stirring well. Remove from heat and let cool enough to touch by not solidify. Whip vigorously until mixture thickens.

Mix parsley, cheese and bread crumbs together, blending well. Dip chicken breast in butter mixture, coating all surfaces, then in breading mixture, packing crumbs onto chicken to coat well. Place chicken in single layer in low pan. Cover and refrigerate for several hours to set breading.

Place chicken breasts in a sheet pan and bake at 350 F for 20-24 minutes. Chicken should be lightly browned and moist on the inside. Top with shredded Parmesan. Serve with dipping sauce.

    This meal of Baked Chicken Dijon was delivered as a blessing by Jodi Durr to the house of my daughter-in-law Jessica in celebration of her newborn baby Esther Rose. We all ate it together, and it was a fantastic meal. The Dijon mustard dipping sauce complemented the baked chicken very well. I will definitely be making this for myself in the future. Thank you so much for blessing Jessica and her family(and myself!).

      What a great review. Thank you so much, Doug. I actually just made it for my own family tonight, and it continues to be a favorite. I’m so glad it’s becoming a regular for your family as well. You are so welcome for delivering the meal. We are thankful they are in our lives.
