Instructions:

Preparation:
- Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
-
Marination:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the Dijon-style mustard, white wine, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken breasts to the mustard mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- The chicken can be coated immediately or refrigerated for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to marinate.
-
Coating Mixture:
- In a large, shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the crumb mixture and toss until well combined, creating a flavorful coating for the chicken.
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and prepare a baking sheet or rack by greasing it lightly with butter to prevent sticking.
-
Coat the Chicken:
- Take each marinated chicken breast and coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
-
Baking:
- Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet or rack, leaving space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is crisp, golden brown, and the chicken is cooked through.
- Check the chicken after 15 minutes of baking. If it is browning too quickly, reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and add an additional 5 minutes to the total cooking time.
-
Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the Parmesan-Crumbed Chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad, for a delicious and satisfying meal.
