Directions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Be sure not to cook it, just melt it until smooth.
-
Add Flavors: To the melted butter, add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and spicy brown mustard. Stir well to combine, creating a flavorful mixture.
-
Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the butter mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
-
Crush and Coat: On a separate plate, crush the French fried onions. Then, coat each chicken breast generously with the crushed onions, pressing them gently onto the surface to adhere.
-
Bake: Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and enjoy your flavorful, crispy chicken creation!
Tips:
- For extra crunch, consider mixing some breadcrumbs with the crushed French fried onions before coating the chicken.
- Adjust the amount of mustard according to your preference for tanginess.
- Serve alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
