Delicious chicken dinner. Wow. First time making this. I did tweek it a little bit. I cut the chicken breast in half length-wise. I didn't have a mallet. I used the end of a chef knife and pound on the meat lightly. I did not have dijon mustard on hand. I put in regular yellow mustard with a splash of soy sauce onto the mayo. Used panko instead of regular bread crumbs. The panko had a nice crunch to it. I dashed in some salt, italian seasoning, rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, black pepper & paprika into the panko. The dipping part was the messy part but no biggie. I made sure all the meat were covered with the mayo & plenty of panko mixure. I placed the meat on a rack over a foiled baking pan (with non-stick oil sprayed on prior). Baked in the oven for exactly 25 minutes at 400 degrees. Flipped the chicken over a couple times while baking. It came out crispy on the outside & moist on the inside. My husband loved it! He kept saying "mmm...mmm...mmm" the whole time. Haha. Made me proud of my cooking when he loves it. Delicious. I will make this dish again & again. Thanks for the recipe!!

FANTASTIC! Will definitely be using this recipe and technique again. Everyone here enjoyed it from ages 3,5-26! Served with roasted potatoes and steamed broccoli. Thanks for sharing!

I would give this many more than 5 stars if possible! This was great! Chicken was nice and moist and very tasty. I sliced partially frozen breasts in half. ( My mallet laughed at me, so I abandoned it!) The dijon I used was the coarse grained kind. Also, only had Italian seasoned panko crumbs to which I added salt, pepper, garlic salt and some cayenne salt seasoning. DH was full of praise, too. Thanks, 3!
