Baked Chicken Thighs

Oolala's Note:

These baked chicken thighs are great with Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. From "Fine Fresh Food Fast" How's that for alliteration! You might want to melt the butter in the microwave-it's up to you. I just use store bought bread crumbs but the recipe says that sourdough and rye bread crumbs add a nice flavor change. Depends how much work you want to put in!

My chicken thighs turned out so juicy & delicious. My only change was to add a tsp of honey to the mustard. I used a spicy mustard. Husband loved it. I loved it. Made it again 1 week later. This is now in my list of go to easy & tasty recipes. Thanks!

Prior to making this dish, my husband had lovingly told me that I wasn't very good at preparing meat dishes. After he ate this, it shut him up pretty fast : ) It was awesome (the chicken and the quiet!)

SO quick, easy & delicious!!!!! Used boneless/skinless thighs, spicy brown for the mustard & 1/2 grated parmesan & 1/2 shredded parm~ everything else as called for. It was wonderful & dipped some fresh bread into the drippings on bottom of casserole dish. YuMM
