Roasted Deviled Chicken Breasts

ChefMarvelIris's Note:

This is a recipe that was featured on NBC's Today Show. I made it last week and it's really, really good.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1/3 cup coarse ground Dijon mustard
• 1/3 cup chopped shallot
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 4 tablespoons olive oil or 4 tablespoons butter
• 4 boneless & skinless chicken breast halves
• fresh parsley (to garnish)

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Combine mustard, chopped shallot and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
3. Put the olive oil or butter in a roasting pan and put it in the oven for a couple of minutes until the oil is hot or the butter melts.
4. Roll the chicken in the mustard mixture until coated thoroughly.
5. Remove the pan from the oven, add the chicken and return to oven. Roast the chicken, turning once or twice, for 10 to 15 minutes or until cooked through. All traces of pink should vanish - internal tem of 155 degrees. Use any extra mustard mixture to baste the breasts as they cook.
6. Garnish with parsley.
