Mustardy Fried Chicken Breasts

I got this recipe from an ex-boyfriend's mother.It gets rave reviews every time I make it.Just be careful not to overcook the chicken.I usually use Italian style bread crumbs and yellow mustard, but you could use any combination of bread crumbs and mustard that you have. I've used dijon mustard as well with very good results.You could also bake it in the oven, just be sure to cover it so it doesn't dry out.
