Parmesan Chicken
1/2 cup Dijon or coarse ground mustard
1/4 cup apple juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbs butter, melted
2 cups fresh soft bread crumbs
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup ground almonds
3 tbs butter, melted
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tsp dried basil leaves
8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Line a 13×9″ pan with heavy duty foil and add a wire rack. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In shallow pan, mix mustard, apple juice, garlic, and 2 tbs melted butter. In other pan, mix the crumbs, Parmesan cheese, almonds, 3 tbs melted butter, salt, pepper, and dried basil. Toss until evenly mixed.
Coat chicken in the mustard mixture, then roll it in the Parmesan cheese and bread crumb mixture until thoroughly coated. Place Chicken Parmesan on rack on top of the foil. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and thoroughly cooked.
