Enjoy a flavorful and crispy chicken dish with this easy-to-make recipe, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Whisking the mixture thoroughly ensures even flavor distribution.
In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
Mix well to evenly distribute the cheese in the breadcrumbs.
Dip each chicken cutlet into the butter mixture, ensuring it is well coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Coating the chicken thoroughly ensures a crispy and flavorful crust.
Place the coated chicken cutlets on the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer to allow even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Using a meat thermometer, ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for doneness.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Adding fresh herbs enhances the presentation and flavor.
Serve the chicken cutlets warm with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Pair with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
