This crusty chicken recipe bypasses breading and frying by dipping in Parmesan cheese and baking in the oven to achieve the appealing golden brown crust.

Total Time: 30 min
Ingredients
| U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 1 tablespoon(s) Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) chopped thyme
- 4 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup(s) freshly grated Parmesan cheese (1 1/2 ounces)
- 4 cup(s) packed arugula leaves
- 1 cup(s) cherry tomatoes, halved
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 475°F. In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of the mustard with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and the thyme. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then brush them all over with the mustard mixture. Pat 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan all over each breast. Transfer the chicken breasts to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake the chicken on the top shelf of the oven for about 15 minutes, or until just cooked through and nicely browned.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1 teaspoon each of mustard and olive oil; stir in 1/2 teaspoon of water. Add the arugula and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and toss well. Spoon the salad onto plates, top with the chicken and serve.
