Recipe: Cheesy Chicken (coated in bread crumbs and Romano cheese)

CHEESY CHICKEN

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 5 ounces each)
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 cups fresh bread crumbs
1 cup grated Romano cheese

Heat the oven to 500 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick vegetable spray.

Pound the chicken breasts to flatten slightly.

Combine the mustard and wine in a shallow dish; stir to blend. In another shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs and cheese; toss to mix.

Dip the chicken into the mustard mixture, turning to coat both sides. Then dredge the chicken in the crumbs to coat well. Place the chicken on the baking sheet. Repeat the steps to coat the remaining chicken breasts.

Bake for about 8 minutes, until the chicken is white in the center but still juicy and the crumb coating is golden brown. If the crumbs aren't brown enough, place under the broiler for another minute or so.

"Everyone loves this recipe for mustard-flavored chicken breasts baked under a blanket of cheese and bread crumbs."
