Sweet Mustard Chicken
Serves 5-6
Ingredients
3 Tbsp fresh bread crumbs (I used 1 slice whole wheat bread toasted and finely cut into crumbs)
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar (I used 2 tsp Splenda)
1 tsp dried Tarragon
1 tsp Kosher Salt (if you use regular salt use reduce by 1/2)
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, skinned and boneless
3 Tbsp Olive oil (I use Pam)
2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
Lemon Wedges, seeded
Preheat oven to 500'F. Mix together the first 5 ingredients and set aside. Using a meat mallet, lightly pound the breasts until about 1/4 inch thick. Rub the olive oil (or spray Pam) on both sides of the breasts and place in a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil. Light brush the breasts with Dijon Mustard. Sprinkle the crumb mix on top of the chicken. Reduce oven to 350'F and bake about 10-18 minutes or until done. The crumbs will brown, and since the chicken is pounded thin, it will cook fast.
I served this dish with roasted vegetables, but you can also use a bed of pasta or Rice. Just remember for the carb watchers, it is only 1/2 cup! This is a light dish...
