Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Meat Mallet
- Freezer Bag
- Rolling Pin
Ingredients
- 8 small boneless skinless chicken breasts 5 to 6 oz each
- 4 cups crispy fried onions crushed
- 2 eggs large
- 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Pound the chicken breasts to ½-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- Add the onions to a freezer bag and roll with a rolling pin to crush them. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg, Dijon mustard, and salt. Add the chicken and toss well to coat.
- Remove each chicken breast from the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, and then dip into the crispy onions, gently pressing to adhere.
- Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Notes
For an extra crispy bottom, bake the chicken on a wire rack set over your baking sheet. If you want a cheesier version, sprinkle some Gruyère cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
