Easy Baked Breaded Boneless Chicken Breast Recipe
We love baked breaded chicken for dinner because there are so many variations you can do with the breading. We love Panko breadcrumbs for their crispy texture and crunch, but there are times when only regular Progresso & Parmesan breadcrumbs will do.
This recipe uses Panko breadcrumbs and a little Dijon mustard added to the egg mixture for an extra kick of flavor.
When baking chicken breasts, always pound or slice your chicken breasts thin. They don’t need to cook as long and will remain moist and tender.

Add a little Dijon mustard and a pinch of salt to your eggs for more flavor.
Panko breadcrumbs make a delicious coating for chicken breasts.
If you would prefer not to use one of the nonstick sprays on the market, then simply make your own spray by adding olive oil (or your favorite oil) to a small spray bottle!
