PARMESAN CHICKEN


Active time: 15 min Start to finish: 40 min
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 (5-oz) skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 1/2 English muffins (not sandwich-size)
3/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 1/2 oz)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Special equipment: parchment paper

Preheat oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.

Whisk together mustard, vinegar, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and add chicken breasts, tossing to coat well.

Pulse English muffins in a food processor until finely ground. Add cheese, butter, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and pulse until combined well. Transfer to a shallow soup plate or pie plate.

Dredge chicken, 1 piece at a time, in crumbs, coating completely and pressing gently to help crumbs adhere, then transfer to baking sheet. Bake in middle of oven until golden brown and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Cooks' note:
• Chicken can marinate in mustard mixture, covered and chilled, up to 2 hours before coating.

Makes 6 servings.

Each serving contains about 238 calories and 7 grams fat.

It looks great! I have tried something similar that is very good but has Italian bread crumbs instead of the english muffins and does not have the vinegar. I wonder what non-sandwich size english muffins are??? I think I will have to try this version. Let us know if you try it.

Hi Rustysmom,

I get the epicurious e-newsletter or whatever it's called... anyhow, one week they featured this chicken dish and a pasta dish called Spaghettini with Garlic and Lemon. We had both dishes that very night and they ARE delicious! I didn't have any English muffins on hand so I used bread crumbs, and I always pound my chicken breasts to make their thickness more uniform for cooking. Anyhow, it was really good. I hope you like.

I'm confused!!!! I made this chicken dish last night. I also have the December issue of Gourmet. It was SO SALTY!!! I followed the recipe exactly. My DH and I had to "scrape off" the breading in order to eat it. Did anyone else have this problem???? I think there should be no salt added to the mustard mixture since the cheese is salty??? Any opinions???

Thank you for suggesting the pasta dish, Martha! I just looked it up on Epicurious. I need to sign up for that newsletter too! In reading the reviews for the chicken I read that one reviewer also served the spinach side dish that was in the same article in the magazine. I think I will try that too.

Patti~ You might want to read through the reviews on Epicurious to see if anyone else had the same experience. I read a few and don't recall that coming up though.

Patti- Did you use unsalted butter? Maybe the butter added too much salt. Don't know, haven't tried the recipe, it was just a thought.

I DID use salted butter. I guess that's what did it. No one else seemed to have this problem. It was REALLY salty. Oh well, on to the next recipe. There are just too many to get stuck on this one!

I think this was the best fast chicken dinner I've ever cooked. I made it even faster by pounding the chicken breasts with a mallet so they would cook more quickly.
