Ingredients

  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast fillets

  • ½ cup honey and mustard dressing

  • ½ cup dried breadcrumbs

  • ½ cup grated parmesan

    (90g)

  • 1 tsp ground pepper

  • 1 egg

    beaten

Equipment

  • 1 medium bowl
  • 1 baking tray
  • 1 baking paper

Instructions

  1. Slice each chicken breast through the middle to make two thin fillets. Marinade the chicken in the honey and mustard dressing for at least an hour, covered in the fridge.
  2. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Remove chicken breasts from marinade and blot with paper towel.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan and pepper. Dip chicken fillets in flour, then egg, then in breadcrumb mixture to coat.
  4. Place coated chicken on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until juices run clear, turning chicken over after 15 minutes.
  5. Serve for dinner with beans, sweet potato and roasted capsicum.

Notes

You can get the kids to help you crumb the chicken. It a messy but fun job and they are more likely to eat food when they have been involved in the preparation.
