Oven Fake Fried Chicken

Oh LORDY, this is great, easy chicken--all the crunch and savoriness of fried chicken, but baked!

Giving credit where credit is due, this is adapted from a Paula Deen recipe.  That woman is a treasure.

INGREDIENTS:
-2 cups panko bread crumbs
-1 cup grated Parmesan
-4 tbsp olive oil
-2 tbsp rosemary (I used rosemary instead of the recommended thyme)
-salt and pepper
-1/4 cup dijon mustard
-2 tbsp water
-2 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, cheese, 2 tbsp olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper to taste.
In a separate shallow dish, combine mustard, water, salt and pepper to taste and remaining olive oil (2 tbsp).
Coat each chicken breast with mustard mixture, dredge each in bread crumb mixture.
Place in an oil coated baking dish.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is golden brown.

NOTES:
I highly recommend using rosemary, as it's such a nice bold herb.  And make sure to get a block of good quality parm and grate it yourself, DON'T SKIMP!  And I dribbled some leftover bread crumbs on top of the already-breaded chicken...that meant there were little extra crispy bits in the dish after cooking...
