Good Morning Friends!!!  Yesterday was a busy day again for me.  I went to my friends house and prepared a dinner for them, and put it in the oven and came home, and started preparing dinner for hubby and I.
  
For my friend and her family, 7 people in total, I prepared a pork roast with onion soup mix, and lots of quartered onions around it, and chicken broth.  I also prepared a pan of carrots and potatoes, with chicken broth on those - to all cook in the oven for 3 hours on 350 degrees F.  And of course they had a pumpkin pie with whipped topping, and a pumpkin pudding cake with cream cheese icing - ok, I cheated - I did not make the icing - I bought a tub of it and iced the cake once I got there.

When I came home, I prepared parmesan chicken for hubby and I.  We also had mashed potatoes and green beans.  But, for today, I will share the recipe for the chicken - hubby loves it!!!

Paremsan Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Whisk together:
2 eggs
1 tsp prepared mustard
1 tsp spicy brown mustard  (or, if you have it, just use 2 tsp dijon mustard)
(You can half this if you are just having a couple of pieces.  Sometimes I find the pieces are larger, and I do not have enough with half of the recipe, but this can be too much and you have to throw out what is left.)

Blend together:
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
(Spice to your liking with basil, parsley flakes, thyme - I just kindda sprinkle it into the bag with the bread crumbs and  cheese.)
Note:  I have made this in quantity and store in a ziploc bag in the refrigerator.  It keeps for a very long time.)

Pat chicken breasts dry, then dip in egg mixture, then roll in crumb mixture.  Place on sprayed baking sheet.  You can also use a foile lined pan, but make sure you spray it, because they will stick and you end up loosing your bottom crust.

Bake at 350 degrees F for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.  Considering the size of the chicken pieces.  Let rest for 5 minutes and then serve.

Egg Dip ingredients

Bread Crumb Mixture - minus the spices I forgot to get them out.
I prefer real bread crumbs, but these canned ones are great in a pinch.

Ingredients to mix, egg, prepared mustard, and spicy brown mustard.

Whisked egg mixture

Bread crumb mixture - these old tin pie plates are wonderful for this recipe.

Sorry, didn't mean to post the crumbs again.

Breaded Paremsan Chicken

If I have extra bread crumbs, I pat them onto the top of the chicken
and it makes a nice thicker coating.

Yummy, nice and crispy on the top!

Love the browned crispy coating.

I hope this has inspired some cooks today - it is very tasty, and do not worry - the mustard taste is very mild, not a dominate taste. 
Enjoy!!!
