Tasty Tuesday: Oven Fried Chicken Recipe

My family loves fried chicken aka chicken on the bone. It is a go to for picnics for us, but when at home, I am not big on frying things. So when I had a craving for fried chicken,  I stumbled across oven fried chicken by Paula Dean. It has become a family favorite. It is a great recipe for the kids in the kitchen - mixing up the ingredients for you.

The first time I made it, my husband was trying to guess all the ingredients. He was surprised (as was I) that Dijon mustard was part of the coating mix and NO BUTTER! I am not a big mustard fan, but this hid the taste and more likely the smell for me that I thought it was pretty tasty. 


Ingredients

2 cups Panko bread crumbs
1 cup grated Parmesan
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons freshly minced thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons water
2 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/4 -inch thickness

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place a cooling rack over pan and spray rack with nonstick cooking spray.

In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, cheese, 2 tablespoons olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper, to taste. In a separate shallow dish, combine mustard, water, salt and pepper, to taste, and remaining olive oil. Coat each chicken breast with mustard mixture; dredge each in bread crumb mixture. Place on prepared rack in pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown. Serve immediately.
