Can you ever have enough Easy Chicken Breast Recipes?  Well we don’t think so!  I have been making this for years…and it is still my go to recipes when time is tight and my pantry is sparse!

Another crunchy, crusty, easy recipe for you!  Who doesn’t like crunchy stuff?  Everybody loves crunchy stuff right?

This is right on the heels of my Herb and Feta Crusted Salmon that I posted last week.   Gettin’ my crunch on this fall!

This is one of the recipes, that once you make it, you will be whipping it up weekly!   Perfect for a week night meal and just as yummy for company.  Only five ingredients and most of those you probably have hiding in your pantry.

The crunchy topping keeps the chicken so moist.  I had to show you how it slices up.  Not my best pic but taking one for the team!

I have been making this for years.  I first had it in a restaurant outside of Seattle when I was just a young chef.  I made it for years after that and I guess I just kinda forgot about it.  I started whipping it up a month or so ago when I was in a hurry and I thought…hey, wait, I have a food blog!  Lets post it on there!  Always thinking….mind like a steel trap.

I usually serve this with a Dijon/Greek yogurt dip.  Two parts yogurt to one part Dijon…or if your waistline is smaller than mine and your arteries are clearer, you can use mayo.

And if you are still looking for another easy chicken breast recipe…check out this 30 minute Chicken Puttanesca!

    I’m guessing the cheese and the mustard must be making this chicken too good. I’m loving all the flavors in it

    I’m so glad I stumbled on this because it’s been awhile since I’ve made baked chicken breast with a crunchy topping and it’s always a big hit with my boyfriend. I usually serve it with a honey-mustard dipping sauce, but your Greek yogurt one sounds great, too!

        Aloha ! I am gonna try this recipe … The only question I have is you do t explain how to use the butter ? Do you coat it on the chicken like you do the Dijon mustard ? Thanks Amy

          Hi Amy, I can see where the instructions were confusing! I updated to make it easier. The melted butter gets stirred into the panko crumb mixture. Give it a read and see if it makes better sense now. Thank you for the note!

    I came across this recipe (or one very similar) a while ago. I prepared the chicken using whole wheat Panko crumbs, and the chicken turned out very tasty & juicy. I topped the chicken with chopped fresh parsley after I put it on the serving platter. I’m sure this method would also work well with boneless skinless chicken thighs. This chicken was very delicious. I served it to guests, and they loved it.
