Ingredients 

4 to 5 (2 pounds) Gold'n Plump® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted and cooled
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced, or 2 teaspoons jarred minced garlic
2 cups soft bread crumbs
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Instructions 

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat two rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray.

Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and lightly pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness.

Stir together butter, mustard, and garlic in a shallow dish. (The mixture may look curdled, but continue mixing until smooth.)

Stir together bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and parsley in a shallow dish.

Dip each chicken breast into butter mixture, coating all surfaces. Press both sides into bread crumb mixture. Place chicken on prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is lightly browned and thoroughly cooked.
