I’m posting this recipe again but with no changes, except to add the approximate WW points and a much better picture than last time
This is one of my tried and true recipes, from Betty Crocker’s Cooking Basics, the cookbook I learned to cook with and still hold dear to my heart! This chicken takes just a few minutes to prep before you bake it, giving you plenty of time to whip up some quick sides, like couscous and roasted asparagus, my recent go-to side dishes! With this easy meal I had time to bake some lemon poppy seed muffins (stop in for those tomorrow!), watch American Idol, get in a 3 mile workout, and read a few chapters of a book. Thanks again Betty!
Parmesan Dijon Chicken
Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts, cut in half.
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 T melted butter
2 T dijon mustard
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix melted butter and dijon mustard in a large bowl or flat dish. Mix bread crumbs and parmesan cheese in a large ziploc bag.
3. Dip the chicken into the butter/mustard mix making sure to thorougly coat it. Then toss into the bag and coat with crumb mixture. Place chicken in single layer in an ungreased rectangular pan.
4. Bake uncovered 30 minutes, making sure to flip the chicken over halfway through baking. Chicken is done when juice is no longer pink when you cut into the center of the thickest piece.
6 servings (1/2 breast per serving)
Approx. WW points per serving = 5

yummmm! this sounds fabulous!
I’ll have to remember this dish. I’m always looking for a good chicken dish to make, and it is even better that it is healthy!
Ooooh that looks delicious! The couscous looks yummy too. I’m obsessed with couscous these days.
Have you tried Near East Garlic & Olive Oil? It’s stinking amazing. I add dried cranberries and pine nuts to it…ridiciously good!
yummmmm. This was really good. My oven has a habit of over-cooking things, so it wasn’t as juicy as it should have been but was still delicious. I used some of the leftover sauce and put that on top before I put it in the oven. Oh, and I had to make my own breadcrumbs out of toast and a knife b/c I forgot to get some. Other than the chunky bread, it was delish. I think the bread helped hold in some of the moisture.
Long comment, short comment is I loved it.
This chicken practically melted in my mouth. It was so good that I felt the need to share it with my co-workers. I will definitely be making this again! Thank you for including the WW points!
