Horseradish Breaded Chicken Breast

Submitted by Layla N

"This recipe is so quick to make, and the chicken comes out very moist and tender. The horseradish definitely gives a nice kick, but it's not too overpowering. The DH really loved it. The amounts I've listed here are not exact. Just make it to taste, and make enough to coat the chicken breasts."

This has a nice taste of kicky horseradish & dijon, cooks up quickly, and is pretty on the plate. I made the suggested amount of mix and had enough to coat 4 chicken breasts. I thought it was more than enough flavor-wise and wouldn't double it next time. I used fresh breadcrumbs, but would use commercially prepared next time. Mine were too soft & didn't adhere well while turning the chicken. I liked that this dish needed no additional sauces or gravies. Made for Spring '09 Pick A Chef.
