Chicken with Mustard Breadcrumb Crust

Indulge in this mustard and breadcrumb coated chicken, pan fried to perfection! A dash of lemon and caper make this a delish and easy twist on chicken. Serve with green beans, broccoli or corn and egg noodles smothered in butter.

Ingredients:

Chicken breasts, trimmed, sliced in half and pounded (thin chicken cooks better           

Dijon Mustard                                                                                               than thick!)  

Bread crumbs (staple)

Capers (a staple in my home)

Lemon (lemon juice is staple too)

White wine - optional

Smother chicken in mustard

Coat in breadcrumbs with added salt and pepper

Heat oil **

Fry chicken, medium heat, covered (cook thickness dependent)

Cut lemon in half and squeeze over cooking chicken

Add capers

Have some white wine in fridge? Splash it on in! Cook alcohol off.

Squeeze remaining lemon on dish.

**oil is ready for frying when you splash water and the drops “dance” on the pan

***I’d like to note that box white wine is a staple in my fridge
